Model 14 Sensitivity
#4

Well, now that you've said that you did not directly connect the generator to the antenna but used it as a transmitter, it is possible to consider scenario where your 1st RF is somehow bad but the grid cap wire of the pentagrid (the 6A7) acts as the antenna. It will still work, and the strong stations will make you think that the 1st RF is OK too.
Try algnment with direct coupling.
Or, when receving stations, disconnect the antenna and touch the antenna terminal with your finger, and see if the radio reacts.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
