I could have sworn at one time I heard you say that running too little voltage on the filaments was just as bad as running too much, in the mode of preserving the life expectancy of the tube in question. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to start an argument - indeed, I'm all for getting back to the technical discussions of Amateur Radio, and let someone else deal with the politics, thereof. 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR
