This is not correct. A parallel tuned circuit with a coupling link, loaded
by a high impedance antenna can have its LC ratio determined such as to
control the value of Q. It is possible that self capacity of the coil could be
a
limit in some cases.

Couldn't do it cheaply commercially, though. Those of us who actually build
stuff are in the minority, you know, Rich! And if you don't carefuly cover up
all the HV points, somebody will get a burn and sue you. That's a problem if
you're making them as a saleable product, of course, not just a one off for
you. I suspect that you, like me, if getting a burn by carelessly touching
something, would just cuss ourselves for clumsiness.
