I run a pair of 813's grid driven (grounded cathode). Plate voltage is about 2200V. I can get around 700W PEP on 15M and a little less on 10M. Because of the high output cap you need and L-PI. They run around 60% efficient.

Some time ago (maybe 2 years) there were comments filed on this site regarding increasing the efficiency of the 813 tube on 21 - 28 mhz. I've looked through my history of this group but failed to find a reference. I also checked some GE Ham News articles that I've saved. I realize the tube wasn't designed for this spectrum. However, I do seem to recall some references being made on this site based upon personal experiences. I really don't intend to waste the groups time, but I sure would appreciate any circuit suggestions that would lead to increased efficiency of this tube.
