The drop resistor with 2X voltage only gives half as much
speed up as the K6XX circuit I cited. However, you cannot
speed it up by going to still higher voltages because
it is limited by contact bounce at that point.

Rich Measures assumed the user would have a 90V grid bias supply for
free. I don't have that but I already have 12V in the shack.
