Thanks for the link. Here are some of the numbers:
The cathode LC resonance (just the 15 uH and .01 uF) produce an
impedance peak at .41 MHz.
That would notch out frequencies near that (a little lower because of
the cathode capacitance).
On the grid, the 22 uH and .001 uF would peak the grid voltage around
1 MHz. But the Q is very low because of the resistors in the grid
circuit.
Very strange. Anybody have a spice model for this tetrode? I would
love to frequency sweep this circuit and see what all is going on
inside it.
