Meh, you could do signal amplification via transformers and tuned resonators.

It sucked, but it was possible.

That's how we had telephones before we had tubes.

Transformers can increase voltage while decreasing current, or increase current while decreasing voltage, but can't increase a signal's power.

I know, but this just means you start with a very high current signal.

You lose a lot, but again it's what we had before transistors.

It's basically blood magic.

It's signal amplification by cannibalizing other band stop signals.
