A little updated on the nice cathedral, the dang thing works really well. Getting LA last night. Problem is that after about 5 minutes of running from cold start, the volume drops substantially. All resistors (that I can find) have been checked and all caps have been changed out other that one that is really buried under the band switch. The only thing that may be suspect is the 6Q7 which one diode section that looks really bad on my tester. Will get another of those. Putting audio into the volume control, the level remains constant with no drop after warming up. Problem seems to be prior to that. Any one with ideas will be received with a warm welcome.
