All,
I got bit by the genny bug again (happens every year at the start of
Thanksgiving

), and have been doing research on this year's designs.
1) I have heard that using discarded pill bottles is a bad practice
due to the plastic spoiling the Q and having a low melting point.
I have access to some kaolinite clay (porcelain) and a kiln. If I mold
and fire my own coil forms out of porcelain, what would be its effect
be on tank Q? And do I need to glaze it?
2) Does anyone know how to bias a triode or pentode for high speed
switching?
Thanks in advance,
The Eternal Squire
