interesting! No I didn't.  Now that you say that, I remember some references to  rocking the dial a couple of degrees or so.  right now I'm quite satisfied with the performance, bit I think I will adjust the low end of the dial again keeping that in mind.  While 600khz and 1300khz are right on, the middle of the dial is about 15 to 20 khz off. Certainly not a concern.  I'll try to reset the low end and see if the middle comes closer.  I really don't want to start tweaking the tuning capacitor by bending plates to try to zero everything in ( if that is what it would take.)  Right now, with the extended antenna, I'm quite happy with the results.  The problem is locating the antenna into a permanent installation.
