Good point, Gerald. A more likely explanation for the low efficiency
on 10 meters might be a combination of higher tank circuit losses
and wattmeter calibration error.

Still, I hear people talking about "soft" tubes a lot. I can understand
broadcast pulls have low filament emission, but aside from that
are there any other mechanisms which will result in diminished
output capacity from a tube like the 8874?
