[Amps] AL82 question - oddity

[Lee Buller]

I just got a "used" AL82 on the air with new 3-500Z (Taylor) tubes.  
Works great on all bands but show something I've never seen on 10 meters.  On 10 meters the plate current and grid current fluctuate slightly when loaded to around 1000 watts or so...the output does not fluctuate on the two watt meters I have in line...and the plate voltage does not fluctuate.  Driving it with a new K3

Any ideas as to what this means?

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?
