There is another way.
Check any recent ARRL handbook in the section about amplifier design.
You can create a simple L network with the addition of one small coil
between the anode and the input to the pi network and that will solve
the problem. I used that technique when modifying a Heath SB-1000 for
six meters so I could use the original tuning and loading capacitors.
Works like a charm.
