Re: Valve covers
I'm not sure about the influence of the valve covers on VFO stability, but the temperature coefficient of the caps in the tank circuit are often an issue. The inductor and the variable cap will have significant positive coefficients so some compensation in the form of ceramics with negative coefficients will help to improve things. LF AM transmitters of the AT5 era often seemed to get away without such corrections.
