- ? ... "several dozen" of which type? ? I lost count. -- Please describe how you remove each type of anode-cooler. What does a ''barnacle'' look like? Is this a common occurrence? Cheers, Tom - Rich.

- True enough. Also, what a person tosses off is important. The issue is glitch surviveability. Three amp diodes can withstand 200a. 10W, 5V zeners can not. Increasing L-supp decreases VHF gain and in

- Because you are not aware of the situation. ? Harbach does not use enough L-supp in his 3-500Z suppressor. This increases VHF gain. The popped bias diodes may have caused by intermittent parasitics.
