REPLY:

There is a better way to tune 10 and 12 meters despite high tube
output and stray capacitance. A small coil in the anode lead will
create an "L" network which reduces the plate impedance on those bands
and permits use of a larger tune capacitor. This technique is
discussed in the amplifiers section of any recent ARRL handbook. I
have used it on all my HF and six meter amps and it works like magic.
Try it, you'll like it!
