Set the band switch to 10 meters. The 10-meter input coil has a small brown silver mica capacitor soldered from one side of it to ground. Replacing it with a mica compression trimmer capacitor like Arco 464 (from RF Parts) will allow you to retune the 10-meter input for 11 meters. Never have seen a step-by-step published for this.

The original 10-meter input circuit will permit about 80% of your drive power into the tubes even if you don't modify it at all.
