Art:
I have now found several designs, avoiding the "B" solved the search
problem. Have you any experience by chance with the PA3CSG amplifier for
144 design? I am concerned, even to the nanoHenry level of the impact of
grid mount inductance. I am a long ago victim of the 4x150 on 50 mhz era
with long line construction hi.

Larry I have made 2 of these amplifiers and I just directly grounded the
grid then made a fingerstock collet for the cathode and heater connection.
The cathode and heater collets were merely soldered to some PCB material
which is spaced off the grid/anode dividing plate which you can clearly see
in the pictures on PA3CSG's website. I was fortunate in that I had several
amplifiers that Geert had built from which to copy. Email me directly if you
have any questions. I have also made the 70cms version. They do work very
well indeed.
