My filament transformer didn't have a center-tap

This tube is NOT a directly heated cathode. It has a indirectly heated
cathode ... connection to the cathode is the outside heater connection. This
is
where you connect the B- through a RF choke to the tube. I found that any
other
B- connection to this tube will induce hum in the transmitted signal do to
the AC heater current ending up in series with the cathode B-.
