VCXO frequency isn't high enough

Doodling with reactance formulas, it appears that 20uH (coincidence?)

It's just inductive reactance, I need more coffee. ;-)
3581kHz, the same as 100pF. I'll try putting the coil I made in
parallel and see what happens. Hopefully it won't short the
oscillator and kill my 15 year old NE602, I only have two spares.
Should I be afraid to do this? Does it need something to block DC current?
If you do try an inductor across the crystal, make sure that you still
do have a DC blocking capacitor somewhere in the path to ground (as
provided by the existing C2 trimmer).
