impossible but true.

measured with bird , controlled with spectrum analyzer , and on dummy
load bird.

the only specify little difference is 4200 volt on plate at full load.
at my not high efficiency , around 60% , there is 3780 watt, without the
input power.

for precisation i have 2 tubes , and the result was with little
difference , around 100 watt of difference in output with the same
input.
