- Rich, If the tank is resonated with too-light loading, the 'loaded' Q of the circuit will be much higher and so will the voltage. This can happen due to an inexperienced operator or antenna switching

- Actually I find the grid current meter very useful as an indication of the degree of loading. It's also quite easy to cause excessive grid current to flow with a 100w exciter, and it's a good warning
