       I knew something was bugging me about putting the fuse in the 
cathode ckt and it just hit me.
If someone has already pointed this out forgive me for repeating it. I have 
not been keeping up with the discussion.
There is one path easily overlooked in the cathode circuit that the current 
or at least a transient may flow.
That is thru the transmitter's (usually solid state) output circuitry.  You 
may protect the tube but wipe out your
radio.
