Re: Having a hard time making a 1MHz audio AM radio (Class A)

Try this one.

Q1 is the modulator transistor, biased as a simple emitter follower with the emitter at ~7V, the emitter tracks the modulation input.

R4 is just a place to measure the current.
C3 decouples the RF from the top of the tank circuit L1,C5 which is resonant at 200KHz.

Q2 is the RF transistor run in class C, with D1 serving to provide the return path for the bias current, this is effectively switching with the tank serving to reduce (somewhat) the harmonics generated, in a real sender this would probably be set up for class E or such but not worth doing the maths for this.

C1,2,4 are DC blocks, and in reality there would probably be a matching network around C4 to both increase the available power and lower the harmonic content.

You will need to change C5/L1 if you change the frequency it is tuned at the moment for 200kHz.

Regards, Dan.
