What the spec sheet lists is the load impedance that the tube needs to
work into. That is not the same as the output impedance of the tube
itself.

WARNING: extensive tests have shown that this question cannot be
resolved be exchange of messages. There's a thread on this subject in
rec.radio.amateur.antennas which has been going for at least a month
with not the slightest sign of resolution... and it isn't even the first
attempt...
