Jim inquires,
"A problem for all the experts-
I Built a 3-1000Z monoband amp for 10 meters. I Sowly Variaced it up
and it
seems ok at 1500volts. Put 3KV on it and it will make a few watts of
power
without even putting RF to it. I heard a small RF type arc- kind of like
slight arcing in an air variable, (I have a vaccum cap) the tube glowed
red...etc."
Jim,
Shouldn't you also be terminating the INPUT with a 50-ohm load?
