I have been redesigning my (4)4cx300a amp to get the same output on the 
bands above 40m that I get on 160 through 40m.
Would anyone happen to
 have a schematic on the HT33 amp that uses these 4cx300a's, or would 
someone be able to tell me how the tubes are configured in this amp?
I
 have been using mine with 2400v on the plates, screens are grounded and
 metered for current, control grid is tied directly to cathode which has
 a 100 uHy choke to ground.
The drive is placed across the 100 uHy 
choke.
On 160 and 80m I get about 750 watts out with 100 watts of 
drive, but as the frequency increases, the power output falls off to 
where at 10m, I only get 200 watts out with 100 watts of drive.
The 
tank circuit and the other plate components are not at issue. I believe 
that the problem lies in the input circuit or the way my tubes are 
configured...the design is based on an old W6SAI article from his Radio 
Handbook 17th edition.
