You can but you won't like the results. :-)

Funny, Nate Sokal, who owned the patent thinks you can.

I'm assuming that "drive a class E amp with an SSB signal"
means an SSB signal on the input, i.e. linear amplification
is required.

its only required if you want the output to sound like the input. there are
lots of amplifiers on 27mhz and other bands where this is not a requirement.

Well, maybe I presumed too much. I certainly wouldn't like it but
of course, I wouldn't force my likes and dislikes on everyone. :-)

Load Drain Current Drain Efficiency Load Power
25 ohms 12.2 amps 82.6% 129 watts
50 ohms 20.1 amps 77.7% 200 watts
100 ohms 33.1 amps 62.3% 264 watts

Can these be thought of as load-pulling data points? Maximum load
power appears to occur when the load is greater than 100 ohms.

Have you considered the possibility that he might have the data for 25 Ohms
and 100 Ohms interchanged? The amplifier is voltage limited at, it appears,
12.8 V. I would believe 25 Ohms, 33.1A, and 264W.

Nope, I accepted his data at face value and am looking
for an explanation.
