Would you please respond in your own words directly to my
previous statement (repeated below)?

If you believe by your understanding of the clips you quoted from
Mendenhall that a conventional, single vacuum tube Class C r-f
amplifier provides a functional termination of 50+j0 ohms for energy
applied to the output connector of the transmitter, THEN PLEASE
EXPLAIN WHY THAT TERMINATION ALLOWS SUCH SIGNALS
TO REACH THE PLATE OF THE PA TUBE -- whose non-linear
characteristics created the _measured_ r-f intermodulation products
and other performance data given in the Mendenhall paper I quoted.
