Hi,

160mtrs contest past and we need more power...  Plan is to add 3 dB by
throwing in another tube  (2.5kw anode dissipation Tetrode, grid driven).
I could go for push-pull of just parallel the tube's. I think push-pull
would be nice to get less even harmonics, but seems to be a big hassle and
just put the tube's in parallel is much easier. Or am I missing something ?

Yes, you are missing something. The contest rules:

"Maximum power is 1500 watts total output."
