[Moon-net] Pre-Tuning a 8877

[Edward Cole]

I recall hearing that one can use something like a 6K reisistor 
across the cathode-grid on a gg 8877 to resemble input impedance for 
pre-tuning the input ckts using a small signal from a MFJ-269 antenna 
analyzer.  Can anyone confrim the input impedance for a 8877 
(144-MHz)?  Should I have the tube inserted to include 
inter-electrode capacitance?  This is with HV off, of course.
