THIS IS A MISTAKE IN TUNING!!!!!    If you increase the  drive, you must go 
back and touch up the load and tune once again, that will  re-stabilize the 
grid current.  You should not "load" to 70 watts and then  crank up to 100 watts 
without "loading" at 100 watts.  Of course the grid  drive will go up!!  Lou
