It is possible that the antenna coil is open.
It is also a known effect that the cap of the pentagrid, if touched, will act as an antenna. Which is still not a cure for open RF coil.
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.
