Bill,
I would not call this circuit "very lightly loaded" with an effective
1000 ohms across the circuit. The impedance of 100uH @ 9MHz (which was
used in my example) is +j5655. I would be glad to build the circuit but
my 5000V signal generator seems to be misplaced at the moment. :)
I am quite confident that LTSpice and other PSpice programs if used
properly do simulations properly. I am not an LTSpice expert but am a
reasonably competent user.
