REPLY:

I admit I have not applied the L-network fix to that particular tube,
but I have done it with a Heathkit SB-1000 modified for six meters and
was able to use the original HF tuning cap. Slick.

As for how "easy" it is, all that's needed is a coil of about .5 uH
inserted in the anode lead. That's it.
