Philco 90- not much volume
#1

I have recapped my Philco 90A (early model w/45 push pull tubes) and replaced a couple of out of tolerance resistors. All tubes check good, all shields in place, bakelites restuffed. I am receiving 2 stations very clearly, the loudest is close to my home, the 2nd is a little farther away and not as loud but still easily hearable. After this I have to really strain to hear other stations. Is this all the volume I can expect on farther stations with this radio? I am using a 100' wire antenna 25' off the ground. My RCA 17K is picking up a 1000w station 30 miles away right now like it is next door. Have I missed something? Thanks for all suggestions,
Doc
