Bill,
I should have worded that a little differently. What I meant was that the tubes
C that the Pi circuit would have seen would look to it as it dropped by adding
the L so tune C can be higher. Nothing drops and goes away, the C from the
tubes is still there. Your making a L-Pi circuit instead of a Pi which behaves
differently similar to a Pi-L.
Best,
Will
