I should have said 'ringing close to frequency the amp was tuned to'.
I tried various couplings - a few inches of wire into a high impedance
fet probe poked in lots of places. 1pF directly from the anode into the
analyser via a 30dB pad. A two turn coil of wire 1.5" dia. placed
everywhere I could physically get it.
