John it was in response to the discussions about too high grid current
readings at desired power output levels. Some folks still attempt to perform
tuning functions at low power, then turn up the drive to the amp with out
readjusting the plate and loading controls at full power. Of course, the
plate Z is all different in each example above, and results in inadequate
loading, hence too high grid current. (No??).
