Realizing the 32V-2 needs to have its loading control way up on 6 before you
can tune it up.

Check for a leaky C-128.

I am having difficulty getting sufficient grid drive on the 10 meter amateur
band. I have sufficient grid drive at the lower end (26 to 28 Mhz) and then
it just falls off. I did follow the tune-up procedures exactly.

Adjusted the three coils and readjusted the cam train. Nothing erractice
there. But try as I may, no grid drive above 28 mhz. The 32V-2 does track in
terms of grid drive in the bottom portion of 10 meters but it does not after
28 Mhz. What am I missing?
