The distance is not as important as providing two paths of differing L
through the VHF suppressor in order to provide a low Q at the anode's
parasite frequency. note - Low-Q is good in a VHF suppressor because
it reduces VHF amplification,
- Do you have a dipmeter?

especially after the local electronic parts emporium closes for the
weekend
