[Amps] YC156 Tube Pros & Cons

[Jim's Personal Account]

Gentlemen,

I have for some time been "flirting" with the idea of building an amp using
the YC156
tube form EIMAC.  I understand this is a "MRI" version of the 3CPX5000???!!!

Before I "dive in" with this project, I would appreciate any comments,
suggestions,
or criticisms of the tube choice.

Has any one had any negative experiences with this tube, or maybe some
constructive advise?

Thanks.

By the way, thanks to those of you who responded to my query earlier about
element currents.  The multi-band portable "hamstick yagi" is up and running
with excellent results so far!
