Just a theoretical question:  I don't ever operate anything but CW.  If I were
building an amplifier, which I'm currently not, what's wrong  with a grid-driven
class-C tetrode?  I suppose that one would have to use old-fashioned tubes with
robust grids like 4-400a's, of course.  The advantage would be considerably 
better
efficiency.  Comments (be kind, I'm just thinking out loud)?
