That would be good too if you can keep the lead lengths down. Also, a 
relay to switch the plate end of the pi net would have to be pretty 
substantial ($$$). I like the idea though.

Perhaps the tube could be in the center and the networks laid out 
like spokes of a wheel? That would take a lot of chassis space, but 
so would separate amps.

Or maybe a single tapped coil and separate tune/load caps being 
switched in and out?

How did you do it at VK4WAR?
