[AMPS] grid voltage swing

[Terry Gaiser]

Use a 250 to 300 ohm 50-100 watt non-inductive grid swamping resistor and
make a 5 or 6 to one broadband torroid input matching XMFR. Can then be
driven with less that 100 watts. I believe AG6K has this stuff available on
his web site. Instructions to make the broadband torriod XMFR can be found
in the ARRL Handbook. This tube should be neutralized in this grid driven
configuration.
Good Luck,
Terry W6RU

sheet lately, but believe its over 200 V P-P for the 3x4.
