hi dennis,

yes, i think i've got mine playing, after a bit of fussing. no
"secrets" to reveal however. "passive grid driven", cathode
degeneration, 2500V on the plate, -56v on the control grid, and 350v
on the screen grid. seems completely stable... power gain could be a
bit higher, but i like the cathode degen. i'm in the midst of making
measurements. if all goes well i might go to a higher plate voltage
and see if i can make a real "salmon poacher" out of it!
very preliminary stuff, the above, but it's looking good. i'm hoping
to use it in CQ-WPX/CW next weekend to give it a serious test.
