Yes, I thought about doing that, but didn't get as far as simulating the tube. You 
can't just shut down the amp though -- you've got to leave it up with the antenna 
relay pulled in. All in all, a lot more work than I have time for right now. But I 
think you're right on target about measuring it. Any suggesting as to the 
resistance to use to simulate the tube?
