Probably you are right,Rich, but
- I'm very interested to this kind of experimentation;
- The increased peak of Anode current could be not so dangerous for short
transmit periods.
- To increase the average power without increase the grid current and
distortion could be important on the pile-up.
Anyway i need only the principle of Ameritrons' solution. If yourself or
some other friend could tell me something about, you are welcome.
