On my YC156 amp, I have a pair of chokes, going from the heater connections to banana sockets, with bypass caps, on the rear panel. Makes it simple to measure the voltage at any time.

Tack a 10k resistor to each filament pin, 10nF decoupling between the loose ends then twisted pair out to your DVM. Should filter out the rf and you don't have to worry about shorting the wires together.

I did measure the voltage at the tube pins. I haven't measured it while transmitting, because the RF drives my meter crazy. I assume the voltage drops a bit. Unfortunately I no longer have my trusty analog voltmeter. I wish I did.


I'll measure the line voltage. But the only thing I can think of that would cause that to increase after long transmissions would be if the breaker on the line heated up and lost resistance. I have never heard of that!
