That's a common problem with tube having high feedthrough
capacitance.
The amp isn't neutralized, and feedback can exceed loss under
some tuning conditions.
The best cure for that problem is to neutralize the amp. If you don't
want to do that, make sure you have a LONG input cable and
always run the loading control up towards the open position.
