The carrier might keep the transmit relay closed, but it has nothing to do with keeping "class C pills turned ON". If the amplifier is biased Class C, it conducts for less than 180 degrees of the input cycle, by definition of Class C. The output is therefore not a faithful duplication of the input; the amplifier is therefore not linear. Non-linear means distortion, and distortion means splatter.
