I seem to recall being told to "tune the plate capacitor to the right
side of resonance". This gave a plate current indication of slightly
off of the true dip in current. As I recall, this produced a noticeable
increase in efficency. Hence, the tank was not tuned at resonance but
slightly higher in frequency as the capacitor was reduced in C as it was
turned to the right or clockwise.
Is this what you guys are speakin of? This appears opposite of what
Dave indicated.
