I have a several 805 tubes and wondered if they could be used to build a linear.
 
I know there are many articles around for lineard with a pair of 811a tubes.

Perhaps a grounded grid, cathode driven design with a pair of 805s.

Does this make any sense?

Issues?

Well, they have Class B RF amp spec in the tube manual, and also have same modulator specs. Why not?

good datashet with audio and RF class B operating conditions.

Would grid lead inductance cause issues with grounded grid service on the higher HF bands for this 1936 tube?

Looks like you could get about 100 watts per tube as an amplifier, but it would be easier with 811s in GG.  A pair in class B modulating a pair in class C would make a nice 200 watt AM transmitter.  Don't know the upper freq. it would work at though.
