Well, I must be getting old because I am losing my memory. After asking
this question initially and getting back responses to it, I went back and
re-read the section in the ARRL handbook.
The handbook was correct as everyone told me: With a blocking cap the
peak RF voltage is equal to the DC plate voltage. It's without a
blocking cap that you get the twice the DC voltage at peak. So I
remembered incorrectly!
Just gettin' old...
