[AMPS] basic question about dipping the plate

[jeff@wa1hco.mv.com (jeff millar)]

The output network becomes parallel resonant at dip and parallel resonant
circuits have their highest impedance at resonance.  Off resonance, the tune
cap and inductor look like shunts to ground and the tube has to try to work
into a lower impedance...thus the high current.
