I meant these:
-- Testing without an antenna connected at all yielded approximately the same results as before: 175V coming from the R14/R15 junction up to R4; 63V between R4 and the Screen Grid pins (pin 4)
-- Testing with antenna connected and tuned to my AM transmitter: 187V and 91V respectively
I would not consider the 12V difference from the bias-setting Candohm and 28V at the Screen Grids insignificant.
The difference is one thing but the voltage drops a lot.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
