Thanks Roy... if it were only true... I haven't seen anyone yet that
could run a pair without pushing them and that means all the above.
You are absolutely right if it were kept to legal power! It wouldn't be
better though. It would just be more hardware and filament power for no
gain at all. Plus higher output C which would make ten meters more
difficult. I still say, keep tubes to themselves. They don't have
feelings and wont mind spending their life alone ;)
Thanks and 73, Tony W4ZT
