[Amps] toroid tank coil heating up

[John Keating <john.keating@outlook.com>]

My 2 x 3-500Z amp uses a two-stack T-225A-2 red mix iron powder toroid for 
160-80-40. It gets hot, especially on 160, changing the loading and causing the 
grid current to drift up on extended transmission. This is not a new 
phenomenon, but I thought I would ask the experts if there is a remedy, perhaps 
other than using a triple stack or going to an air core coil, neither of which 
I have room for.
