Reduce the L to reduce the resistive loss - the essence of L
is the energy stored in its current carrying, and it is the current that
causes I^2 R losses. The energy stored in the C is static. (Yes, there
are some losses in polarising the dielectrics but these are small enough
to be ignored)

ISTR that one can improve Q in resonant tanks by having a low L-C
ratio. Or was it high L-C ratio. I can't remember but need to know.
