Always, high voltage! Lowest IM's that way.
And, please during tune up on the bands, use a
dummy load.
> When you get to 1500 watts output,.... etc.
For most linear transfer, and lowest output distortion
products, after you reach max power output, for a
given drive power, INCREASE the load capacitance;
that is REDUCE the load variable capacitor just enough
to decrease the output power, CW key down, about
5% or so. Nobody on the other end will note the power
drop, but folks adjacent to you on the band will thank you.
Good luck and 73, Jim KH7M
