I just went and re-examined the article, and it is not series tuned as I
first thought, it is parallel tuned.

My calcs of your loop were all on the basis of series tuned loop, and are
not applicable to the parallel tuned circuit.

It is questionable whether the parallel tuned circuit is an efficient
coupling method for a low Z receiver.

I am able to get a noise peak tuning the capacitor and the preamps I use are
supposed to be a match from approx 25 ohms to about 125 ohms.

I believe this should work, but for some reason not like I thought it would.
