REPLY:

This is discussed in the amplifiers section of any recent ARRL
handbook. Basically, the small coil forms an "L" network using the
tube's own output capacitance to step down the plate impedance to a
value which can be tuned with a reasonable sized tuning cap. The coil
is effective only on the higher frequencies and "disappears" on the
lower ones..

It works great. I have used the method on several amplifiers including
six meters.
