<Seems to me there was also one in strays that use something like a dozen 
1625?s on parallel...(etc.)?

<Yes that was my amp ? think it had 20 of them with a broad banded input and 
output. I can?t locate the issue so far! Had a photo of it in Strays. I used 
that amp for several years.

##  saw that in an old qst.  The plate load Z was so low, it was  75 ohms.... 
no description on how u get rid of harmonics !   Me,  I woulda used a plate 
block cap, and no more,,, then stuff it 
into the ant. 

##  On that galaxy  2000 amp, it used 10  x 6HF5 sweep tubes..and was a 80-10m 
affair.    1 kv  at 2A  to provide the  2 kw input..and  1.2 kw output at the 
time. 
Plate load Z  was less than  290 ohms.   That would of course require VERY high 
values of tune and load C.....and a real small coil.   Plus aprx  a whopping 
20A 
of circulating RF current through the coil +  bandswitch.      Their fix was 
unique, they used a simple step up  Z transformation.    Stepped the plate load 
Z up high enough,
such that... normal values  of PI net could be used.   Enter a plate load Z of 
290 ohms into the GM3SEK  Pi  spreadsheet, and u will see the crazy high values 
required for
  both  air variables...and the tiny values used for the coil.   The PI-L  is 
no better.
