Many people change the tune and load capacitors when converting one of
these to six meters, but that is totally unnecessary. Adding a simple
coil between anode and tank creates an L-network which does the needed
impedance transformation so you can use the original capacitors. This
technique is covered in any recent ARRL handbook.

Email me if you'l like pictures of mine.
