Info from RCA Tube manual TT5
Ceramic - metal, forced air cooled heater-cathode type used as an RF power
amplifier and oscillator. May be used with full input to 200Mc. Class C
telegraphy maximum plate dissipation CCS2000watts, must be operated in
vertical position, either end up. Air flow must be adequate to limit the
radiator core and the terminal temperatures to their specified maximum
values. Heater power, plate power and air flow may be removed
simultaneously.
Heater voltage AC/DC 120 max volts. Because the cathode is subjected to
considerable back bombardment as the frequency is increased, with resultant
increase in temperature, the heater voltage should be reduced depending on
operating conditions and frequency to prevent overheating the cathode and
resultant short life.
Heater current at 120volts 1.6 amps
Minimum heating time at 117volts 5 minutes
mu factor g2-g1 7 (plate volts 1000, g2 volts 400, plate amps 1)
Direct inter electrode capacitances
grid 1 to plate 0.4pf max (with external flate metal shield having a
diameter of 8 inches and centre hole approx 3-7/16 diameter. Shield is
located in plane of g2 terminal, perpendicular to tube axis, and is
connected to grid 2 terminal.
grid 1 to cathode and heater 46pf
plate to cathode and heater, measured as for plate to grid except hole is
approx 3 inch diameter and connected to grid 1 terminal 0.1pf
grid 1 to grid 2 50pF
grid 2 to plate 22pf
grid 2 to cathode and heater, measured under same conditions as plate to
cathode capacity, 4.4pf
max radiator temperature, measured on core at end adjacent to plate terminal

Looks a bit like it's well characterised in grounded grid operation,
although I don't see why.
