//   It seems unlikely that phase shift would not change from HF to VHF.  
Examination of the values used in g-g amplifier "neutralization" 
circuitry suggests that they are not intended for VHF signals.  Also, 
frequency dependent phase-shift will take place through the tube's 
internal feedback-C.  In the original "Plywood Box"/tetrode-with-handles 
amplifier, I used a Bruene neutralization bridge.  (Figure 5 on my Web 
site)  Nevertheless, the P.B. initially had an intermittent parasite c. 
68MHz which had the disgusting habit of stentorianly reducing the glitch 
resistor to largish dust particles.  The fix was to reduce Rp (and VHF 
gain) at the anode-resonance by replacing the Cu straps with straps cut 
from 0.1mm stainless-steel (Ni-Cr-Fe) shim-stock.   [free samples still 
available]

//   Owners of newer model versions of MFJ/Ameritron amplifiers that were 
originally not neutralized reported more grief in the new version.
