A grid-driven 813 has 0.2pF of (output-input) feedback-C, and even less 
feedback-C in G-G configuration with both grids grounded..  This is 
similar to the feedback-C of modern tubes which have 4 to 12 times the 
max frequency rating of the 813's rating of 30MHz.  Thus, at frequencies 
that are high enough for the XC of the 813's feedback-C to be low enough 
to support regeneration, the 813 does not have enough gain to support 
oscillation.  At 27 - 29MHz, the gain of an 813 is falling like a rock.  
813s are unsurprisingly not popular with CBers.
