Well, I wasn't for sure as I cant decipher what he wants. He mentioned
wanting to know how to increase the inductance by 300 nH, which squeezing
the coil would raise it. In a Pi-L, the load C is in between the two coils
and tune C at the coupling capacitor off the anode. In other words, the
added coil is between load C and the load. Without knowing what he wants
to do for sure, about the only thing I could advise is answer his question
about how to raise inductance by 300 nH. With a circuit description in
detail, what he's wanting to accomplish, and at what frequency, I dont
know what else to tell him.

Will,
I believe Chris is talking about converting from a PI network to a Pi-L
network. The Pi-L having two levels of impedance matching, and a little
more
harmonic suppression, than the original Pi network.
Thus the original Tune C becomes the middle capacitor of the Pi-L,
allowing
for a larger value of C, and the plate C is now the new Tune C.
Also, If his tune cap is already backed all the way out, he needs LESS
inductance in the tank to tune it, not more... Therefore he would be
SPREADING
the coil turns apart, or removing a turn, or moving the tap towards
less turns,
any of which would result in less inductance in the tank circuit....

A 300 nH coil (0.3 uH) is not very much. Assuming this would be the tank
coil, the 10 meter end being the largest in size, one might just squeeze
the coils together to raise the inductance enough to bring it in tune.
If
not, adding 1 to 2 turns of the same size wire, and same diameter would
most likely do it. A dip meter would be easier to use to find the exact
placing of the tap on the coil if it has taps. According to the way the
tube is ran and tube type, some at a higher frequencies dont need a
tune C
in order to tune correctly because the tubes output C is high enough and
takes care of it. In the amps I've seen this way, a load C was all that
was used.

Can anyone tell me what size wire and dimensions to use for a 300 nH
coil? I don't have an inductance calculator. I am having a problem
with
a 3cpx5000 that has high C Out. The tune vacuum cap is a backed all
the
way out in order to tune. I read on web site that you can use a 300 nH
coil from anode to C1 to rectify this.
Thanks for the help,
Chris
