A metal 6L6 upside down in a bucket of wet sand for real power. Pretty purple glow looking at the base. Neighbor worked for telco and put a huge pole in the back yard. Woodpecker built a nest in it so I had to bang on the pole with a 2 X 4. He would always come back. My mother made me cut the pole down when I joined the NAVY. My friends mother worked for ARRL in Newington and gave me a killer power supply with mercury rectifier tubes.
1200 volts on a 6L6 was beautiful.
