**  Yes, provided the minimum is under 1.2 to 1.  If it's not, the Q of 
the tuned input needs to be pumped up,

**  Tune for max RF out with whatever drive level produces the rated max 
anode current.  Max out always results in a reasonable amount of 
grid-current because if too many electrons are diverted to the grid, 
fewer electrons arrive at the anode and output drops.
