Should I go into my log and delete the 10,000 or so QSO's I have made
with my Chinese 8877 and do it again with a "real" tube?

## yes. The chinese ..."real" tube #1, would have given you another 6db.
Chinese "real" tube #2, would have given you another 9db. Chinese real
tubes 1+2 are both $659.00. http://www.rfparts.com/tubetran.html
## Both can be rebuilt. The 8877 is a ..'throwaway' . Chinese "real"
tubes 1+2 are a huge bang for the buck, no floozy grids. Now that's
good engineering.
Later... Jim VE7RF
