You're quite right.  I thought about this, but made the suggestion that 
I did because it worked for me.  These circuits are very non-critical, 
and if you can adjust the inductance and one capacitor it should allow 
you to get a 1:1 SWR.  One other thing to keep in mind is that the 
circuit should be mounted as close to the tube socket as possible.
