Pete the simplest method is to shorten the resonance of the antenna before
adding the shunt to around 1.9mhz. Then use a variable L to find the correct
value. Measure its inductance and replace it with a fixed value of the same.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my message - lots of good ideas. I
think my favorite was the one about tapping a shunt coil from both ends,
alternately, to bring both the radiation resistance and the resonant
frequency in line.
