Can't.  The point of the experiment is to leave the BC-375 intact,
getting it on the air without $1000 worth of "audio" tubes.
Radical circuit changes are out.  The original tubes are series-string fils,
so the choices are fairly narrow.
So far, things look encouraging.
Just don't yet understand why a triode-connected tube (screen to plate)
that oscillates well at 10 MC would have a hard time at 7 MC.
Weird.
