Hi Warren.

	I was thinking of using them so I can throttle the IC-706 back to
	10/15watts O/P and get a good bit of RF O/P in return.
But as you point out they are an excellent tube for CBers only 
	taking a small amount of RF drive, but need neutralising.

	I built a linear 16 years ago using them Tubes and they glow.
	5V @ 16A for the heater and 3.25Kv Anode.
	The heater glowed white and the cherry red glow.
	No need for room lighting ;-).
	
	I found that the Graphite anodes become a bit brittle or was
	I just unlucky :-(
