Obviously? This is a ham. No telling what a ham will try.

I drive a 4-1000 grid with a grid leak bias resistor all the time.

Why would a ham want a tube with 15 KW anode dissipation?
I was perhaps too dismissive of an unun attempt; maybe it works in
some cases, but a typical LC input network can be made to work across
HF without much retuning provided the driver can tolerate some vswr
excursion.
Cordially,
