Hi

The technical datasheet of a GS35b talks about 700mA a 800mA anode current 
by a wavelenght of 30 or 60 cm.
The typical anode current by wavelenghts of 10 M tot 160 M should be another 
question,nothing is found around.
Same about the correct BIAS currrents of this tubes !!
I do not found real exact values,most guys are talking about 200mA for a 
GS35b-tube ?
Running more BIAS or anode currents will surely destroy the life time of the 
tube ?
