Seems to me to would have to load is pretty heavily, not just to get the power, but also to try to keep the plate volage down. If you go to 2X 700 volts, it might not be a matter of the tubes, it might be the tubes sockets.


They used a lot of ceramic tube sockets in transmitters.


What does limiting the G2 do ? Keep it from arcing to the suppressor grid ? I have wondered before about why the hell doesn't all this **** just arc and weld itself together. Well, OK I know it has to do with the vacuum, but still.

However wiki reports that permissivity of air at STP is only something like 1.000 point whatever, with 1 being the standard.
