It's not at all critical. Use whatever you have. All it will affect
is the tuning range.

Great answer- since all it effects is the tuning range, why not leave
it out entirely?


That's a ridiculous response. Building a loop is not rocket science and is
largely done seat of pants. You wind some turns, put the capacitor
across it and see what it tunes. Then you add or subtract turns until you
get the result you want.

But since most people these days can't even check their own motor oil
without an instruction book, maybe I should take that into account.

BTW, the correct word is "affects."
