[ARC5] BC-230 first run

[AKLDGUY .]

Yes, but the good news is that for reasons unknown, the RF ammeter has
suddenly come to life. I'm getting 0.6 Amp indication with the 5 x 1 ohm
dummy load connected thru a fully meshed ARC-5 TX capacitor. The
resistors get slightly warm; hard to tell, it's a warm afternoon.

Whether some loose connection has been disturbed or the meter was
stuck, I don't know, but that indication gives me hope. Still unable to get
a dip when tuning the final tank, but at least I now have an indication of
output.

Update - just changed back to the original 6AQ5A in the final. Ammeter
now shows 0.75 Amp with same settings. So that tube is the best.
