[AMPS] QY5-3000A in hf amp

[Einar Persson]

Hi Howard
That was a very common tube in Philips radio/TV transmitters in Sweden so
they were quite common here also.
Philips name is QBL5-3500. The tube is also known as 6076.

Here is some info:  http://www.tube.be/6076.html

A few Swedish hams are using that tube type in a G2DAF circuit for the HF
bands. On air, as well as spectrum analyzer tests says it's quite clean.
I have some drawings I can scan and send to you if you are interested.
My own experience with the tube is so far in a 2m amp.
