Hi Pete,

Here is picture of coil I made to tune Inv. L at 9Y4 with 15-20 Ohm impedance. 
It was tuned in 2 steps:

1. calculate and wound coil to rise R close to 50 Ohm
2. adjust horizontal wire length back to desired freq.

Used thin wire for coil, not sure if it is right or not, used what I had there.
