**  Luck is not of any value.  Knowledge is.  To tune up a g-g amp, apply 
100% of drive, preferably pulsed at 20 - 30 pps - unless one is tuning an 
amp with a 2500w HV-PS  (Henry 3KA), and Tune/Load for maximum PEP out.  
If this is done, grid-current will be reasonable because most of the 
electrons will be going into the antenna instead of into the grid.  .  .
