I dont understand how moving the resonant frequency of the coil up and using 
the same resistor raises the Q? More inductance than necessary will result 
in more possibility of absorbing the wanted RF. On a HF amp there is not 
much balancing required with most tubes. It does become critical on 6M using 
tubes with a parasitic around 70-80 MHz.

If the parasitic is at 120-150 MHz as with a 3-400/3-500 there should be no 
(measurable power for nit pickers)10M power in the resistor
