** Last week, I received several e-mails and telephone calls from a CBer
who was constructing a 3cx15,000A7 AB2 g-g amp. using a 3kV anode supply.
He was having problems getting it to work properly, and he had some
questions, which I answered. In a few days, he got it to work. My
impression was that he was interested in the science behind getting it to
amplify linearly. Hopefully, he will someday get a license.
