Rca 8x541

I have a RCA 8X541 radio that I have recapped and checked all the tubes and resistors. It works fine on the upper end of the dial, but once you get below 1200kc there is a buzz and very little reception. Above 1200 I get lots of stations. I was even picking up a station from Mobile, Al. which is not bad for West TN. The buzz seems to go away in some spots like around 700 but it comes back. I should pick up stations from Memphis and of course 650 out of Nashville, but it just seems deaf on the low end of the dial. Any ideas?
