[ARC5] Newbe Question

[Tbs50A@aol.com]

Hi,
 I'm new to the list and had a question about using the BC-696 and 459 on the 
air. I follow Dave Stenton's recommendations for cleaning and using a small 
series capacitor to get it to load into a 50 ohm load. When I do that I can 
only get about 95 or 100ma plate current. I found by paralleling a capacitor 
from non antenna post side of the series capacitor to ground I can easily get 
it to load up 150 to 200ma with about 50 watts output. The grid drive seems 
to be good as well as the 1625's Is this a good way to do it or am I missing 
something?
