I've whipped up a spark-gap transmitter with an old relay and .1 uF cap, so we have something to test the oscillation with even if there isn't any AM rolling in- as is usual during the day (with the exception of a faint local one).

Edit: Some more news... both good and bad. The good news is the set oscillates; I can hear the buzz from the spark-xmitter when I bring it close to the antenna. The bad news is no stations... Anything that needs to be checked, or is it adjustment/alignment time?
