Hello Chuck,
I took a look at your homepage, great site by the way. I noticed the chimney 
isn't extended to the top of the tank enclosure and it's in close proximity 
of the plate choke and DC blocking capacitors. That will cause excessive 
tank circuit heating/stress and premature component variance-failure. Also, 
I see that you used braided strapping for the anode connection and changed 
it to solid copper strap. Just curious, did you find that it made a 
noticable difference? There's my two cents worth.

Good Luck
VE3YN
