What kind of gain can I reasonably expect from a GS-35B on 6 meters at
anode voltages less then 4 KV? The info I have found on the web is
sketchy and inconsistant. Most builders seem to avoid the issue of gain.
I have a number of options for the tube(s) in this amp project and am
having a hard time deciding which to build.

Larry, at anode V of about 3600V with 100 watts drive you will get a maximum
of about 1600 watts. Tubes vary but that is pretty much it. DON'T expect a
GS-35B to do what an 8877 will with the same drive levels. Since the GS-35B
will take 1.2A anode Ip you can drive it with more than 100 watts and that
1600 watts will increase, but if only 100 watts drive is available bank on
1600 watts appx. with EVERYTHING being tweaked to perfection.
Good Luck 73 Lou
