I have a philco 16B which I have totally recapped.  I get pretty good reception on the broadcast band and a couple of stations are clear as a bell but the others all have a whooshing sound.  How can I troubleshoot this?   Could grounding the radio to the wall receptacle help this?  Any help would be appreciated.
