Heck, 150 MHz is almost DC.

Not with valves, it isn't

 
We were discussing building a bandpass fiter. At low power, the parts
can be one per cent of a wavelength long.
 
And at low power, tubes should be small, so plate capacitance will be
small, and can be rolled into the first bp filter capacitance.

I was intending to make the characteristic impedance of the filter 50
ohms so I could set it up easily with a VNR.

 
What's the plate capacitance of the tubes you plan to use?

ECC91= 2.5pf max with anodes paralleled
EF91 = 2.1pf (3.1pf if shielded)

Is your
output differential?

No, see:

Come on, try it. It's 2025.

I can go out and buy a ready-made transceiver but I want to make one
using valves.  It's a hobby but I want to approach it in a professional
manner.
