6146'S

[Russ Hines]

Hi Edward:

One more time with emphasis:  I know 6146's were used through 6 meters.
<big smile>

And a LOT of manufacturers used them in their rigs.  Guess that makes it
the best tube to use from DC to light. ;-)

I thought the commercial rigs you mentioned used something else, like
6850's.  No?  A pair of 6146's at 170 Mhz generates what... 40 watts
maybe?  Very efficient.<grin>
