Well, that is nominally considered as "matching" in that the coupling
from the antenna is minimal so as to not load the parallel resonant
circuit; a tradeoff actually between energy transfer and loading.
A better way might be to have a low Z tap on the inductor; a method used
in radios since the 60's i think.

Yes that can be done, but my inductor will be 660/46 litz wire.
I'm sure it's possible to make a tap, but with the cost of litz I don't
want to.

Saving a few cents on Lits wire will cost you almost half of the power
you could deliver to the tank.

This won't give you maximum power transfer.
