No good... too much bandsplatter and you just can't get a clean note. What you want is a continuous arc transmitter. Dunno who patented it, but Federal Electric made some of the better ones up until about 1915 or so. With a little bit of bandpass filtration it would probably even be legal to use on the air today. --scott (but whatever you do, don't touch Federal Electric circuit breakers)
