Make sure all Xc values are negative. Xl and R are positive numbers.
Perhaps the concept should be "self resonance is over rated". We all spend
a lot of time to achieve resonance more or less by adjusting lengths and
various matching networks.

One benefit of so many postings on this subject is that raises concepts or
different ways
of analying the "problem".
A second benefit is that some postings causes us (me) to review my
understanding of things that I learned long ago--in this case over 50
years!
The following posting states something that is not only incorrect but the
truth is exactly the opposite. Actually it was probably mistated. For
those
less trained, here is the correction:
1. All circuits have both a capacitive and an inductive reactance at the
same time. All circuits will have some lead length
which will result in an inductance, no matter how short the lead. The
inductive reactance xl will be 2piFL accordingly.
Similarly all circuits will have some spacing between components or leads
resulting in capacitance. The capacitive
reactance will be 1/2piFL. These two reactances can be mathematically
combined serially or parallel. I forget if it was
Norton, Thevinin, etc. who established the series and parallel formulas.
There will also be a resistance which must also be included
(or ignored). The resultant equation is (r1+xl)(r2+xc)/r 1+ xl + r2 + xc)
for a parallel combination.
2. The units for the resultant equation is called impedance-- not
reactance?
3. A minor mistatement probably?
