Ok, it seems my padding capacitors are not connected. I wonder how I
am able to tune up on 160 meters?

Seriously though, W8JI is injecting a signal on only one side of the
sheet, using one side of the sheet as part of a loop. This is
different from using the whole thickness of the sheet as a conductor,
which is what the original discussion was about, and what is happening
in my example above.

I have to admit, W8JI's experiment is fascinating even if not exactly
relevant.
