I think only emissive materials that are more efficient at lower temperatures remain to be exhausted on this area. I do not think developing 30 kW of RF across 6 MHz (ATSC) can be developed with 30,

I don't know anything about SSB, (what ever that is) but with 25 - 30 Watts of drive you should get about 350 Watts (carrier only) out of it, it looks (to me) like you are over driving it a lot. That

Plain "aluminum sheeting" oxidizes before it gets out of the machine and is coated with aluminum oxide in seconds and rather well insulated, I see no practical difference other than the greater hardn

One can only guess, it is possible some insulation is breaking down under the hV. If you can operate the amplifier with the valves on the shelf you might prove or disprove it. You can also Hi-Pot the

Plastic fan over hot air, that sounds like a bad idea. Metal fan with oiled bearings over hot air, that sounds like a bad idea. Add more air flow to the input of the existing fan if possible. -- Ron

Distilled ONLY and steam distilled is greatly preferred. (over de-mineralized) When hot the H2O will expand much more, possibly steam and some can get lost. Oil is better. Buy "mineral oil" from any

I think I understand the procedure, is it quite bad to under-couple the output of any amplifier, this is like "loosing the load." (something gone open) When the load is any less than optimum the devi
