[Amps] Series C in amp output

[Peter Voelpel]

I guess it´s not for safety but for the qsk circuitry.´
In my amp I did something similar.
It would not work with a dc short from a beta match or similar on the
antenna output.
The closing of the antenna relay contact provides a DC path for the input
relay coil in my case.

Okay, thanks to Bill and Steve I think we can say it's just a safety 
measure in case of blocking cap failure. Maybe these amps don't have the 
traditional RFC across the output. Never did like that idea, always 
thought they looked a bit ineffective if faced with an amp or more at a 
few kV.
