[AMRadio] GG 813 Linear in GE Ham News

[gwt]

How about using 6 811's. I built a gg 160m only amp like this back in 
the early eighties. Still works great today. And one of the cool things 
about using the six tubes in gg, is the fact that the input impedance is 
50 ohms. No imput matching network required if your using a solid state 
exciter.
