** Luck is not of any value. Knowledge is. To tune up a g-g amp, apply
100% of drive, preferably pulsed at 20 - 30 pps - unless one is tuning an
amp with a 2500w HV-PS (Henry 3KA), and Tune/Load for maximum PEP out.
If this is done, grid-current will be reasonable because most of the
electrons will be going into the antenna instead of into the grid. . .
