    This third approach is not practical for several reasons.
1.  The VHF resonance(s) may not be on one frequency. When you tune the 
output or input circuits it may change as well as when you change bands.
2.   Adding such a circuit may only change the VHF resonant frequency by 
simply becoming part of the circuit. .
