// When the grid's intrinsic inductance is grounded through the positive
reactance in a Cu strap - insead of the negative reactance in a cap. -
the grid-resonance frequency decreases a bit, which should permit
oscillation at a slightly lower frequency. The grid-resonance change can
be measured with a dipmeter. I would be interested in your measurement.

// Amen to that, Mr. Rauch.
