True, Dick, true. If Tune C is maxed out than Xc could be rather large
so your point is well taken. That's one of the reasons why I measured
the dip with the choke shorted and just hooked up in circuit.
It's also got one more path to ground as well: via the Cout of the tube.
But again, this may or may not be a small reactance.
