4CX5000A's grid dissipation is 75W, not too weak.8877's grid dissipation 
only 25W, but often handle over 100W driving power.
If the grid rigged enough, many tentrode can work in GG well , like 813, 
GU-81M ,4-400 etc.

  This type of tube usually doesn't do well in zero bias grounded grid.
Usually the control grid is fried due to excessive control grid current.
  But if he is only turning out 1kW then the drive must be low. Also, his
plate voltage for this tube is low compared to normal operation.
  The high Q tank, 130kHz bandwidth, must be unloaded during test. That
is a Q of 100. The plate resistance will drop that.
  I have 2 old MRI 200MHz 4CX5000a amplifiers in the garage.
Could not resist them at a UK auction.

 Found a interesting  web about 4CX5000A(8170) 2m  VHF  GG power amplifier, 
http://www.g4ftc.co.uk/amplifiers/8170_2m/home.htm  Anyone use this 
configurtion in HF ?how  many  power gain?
