Steve, pardon my ignorance, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by "touch the center terminal". I actually put my finger on it, and the static was slightly muffled. I'm not sure if though if I picked up a 60 cycle hum. It certainly wasn't obvious. Next I brought a nice working radio at 1455 very close to this one tuned the 42-365 to 1000 and didn't hear the oscillator. I guess this failed these tests.
