[Amps] new amp race

[Jeff AC0C]

Uh huh.  There is Cout that is manageable -- and then there is the YC156.  I 
am pretty sure that anyone who has actually been-there, done-that with this 
tube - would use the term "easily" in conjunction with the work needed to 
make that tube and the upper bands play together.

REPLY:

Easily fixed with the L-network described in any recent ARRL handbook
in the amplifiers section. Requires just one small coil in the plate
lead and like magic, the Cout problem is gone.
