The r.f. choke to ground is to prevent the B+ from flowing on the antenna if
the plate coupling capacitor shorts.
In normal operation, theoretically no current will flow. When the coupling
capacitor shorts, a LOT of current will flow.

Subject: [Amps] 3-500z amp homebrew question
Hello!
Mike, AC2Q, here.
I am in the process of De-Re-Homebrewing a 6 meter single 3-500z amp I
required. In short I doubt it ever worked well, and while it would look good
schematically, the construction techniques were horrid.
My QUESTION is regarding the RFC that is downstream of the output network, what
is it's purpose? And what sort of current would it be carrying?
"Typically" in HF amps, it has a value of 2.5mH.
Any helpful input appreciated.
Mike
