OK James... less not discuss ballasting... because that has no bearing
in this particular discussion. Maybe you can tell us how the diode
method of biasing shown at http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek/tr-bias/tr-bias1.htm
(bad circuits section) works. And since you think that circuit works
well. Please tell us why.
