Secondly, you want to overwhelm a transmitter that has perhaps 100 mW of output power, all in a narrow band (10 kHz or so); to do so for the whole 50 MHz you describe, all at once, will require about 500W of transmitter... doing this with 2N2222's is gonna be lots of not much fun. Doing it for one frequency band at a time, IS practical; check out _The ARRL Handbook for the Radio Amateur_, any of its dozens of editions, for grid dip meter plans. A grid dip meter is a unmodulated test oscillator, which will easily do the kind of task you describe. And, by reading out the calibrated scale, you can know roughly what the RC signal frequency is... it's a genuine, legitimate reason to have the gizmo. In case anyone asks.
