For VHF and UHF amplifiers, I found this to be true, but for HF ones,
to my surprise, things blew. As I see it, whereas lanky glass-tubes
can have VHF parasites, compact ceramic ones can have UHF parasites. I
think it's advisable to remember that at 300MHz, the output (anode) to
input (cathode) feedback path in an 8877 has c. 5000-ohms of reactance,
which is nothing to sneeze at with 4000v on the anode.
