[Amps] 4-1000A color

[Glen Zook]

I have heard some REALLY "olde tymers" say that they ran a 6L6 with like 1200 volts on the plate.  They had to send CW really fast because a short "dah" turned the plate red hot and a long "dah" melted it!

I used to run 813's well past showing color. They were downright glowing, yet I never had any problems with them.  Of course back then they were $5 to free and "we" as in most hams I knew running them, never worried about pushing a tube "a little"
