I am building a 2x813 class C final modulated by 2x813.

The typical way to bias the class C final is with a combination of fixed
bias applied to the control grid and bias derived from the rf drive
through a grid resistor.

Rather than fixed bias applied to the grid it seems that I could achieve
the same effect by using a pseudo zener in series with the cathode,
similar to what is used in cathode driven linears.

Any thoughts on this approach?

I am guessing common cathode RF amplifier, a more standard way to do it would be an adjustable bias supply and a clamp tube on the screen grid. (6L6 or similar) look into any pre-1960 ARRL hand book.
