Has anyone every heard of an arc transmitter? An artical says,
in the early days of radio they used high voltage arc transmitters.
An arc transmitter transmits on a very wide band of frequencies.
What is an arc transmitter? Could it be something like a modulated
Tesla Coil? Or is it CW only? This makes me wonder if a Tesla
Coil can be modulated? What if you modulate the 120 VAC line into
the neon transformer? What if you modulate a 3rd coil on the
ground end of the secondary coil? What if you modulate a TC with
a carrier frequency and voice? Has anyone ever tried to use a
Tesla Coil as a transmitter?
