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?

Hi Mike,
I didn't intend to question the validity of soft tubes showing first at  
higher frequencies. I have always been under the impression that this is true  
but 
just now wondering why it might be true or even if it is true.
