But yet a choke input filter will show nasty leading spikes on a scope when
used in a pulsed mode such as CW and SSB. It is especially harsh with SS
rectifiers and is somewhat muted with 866A/3B28's.
I suspect a little bit more reading on the subject is in order as this wasnt
taught in the magnetics portion of my EE classes.

So you are saying our tube HPA's hV power supplies have a near unity
power factor?
No, I said exactly the opposite. If it's a capacitor input filter, the
current is drawn in pulses and thus has high harmonic content. A choke
input filter would reduce that effect.
