Yes it does. But it is only half of the story since it basically is
missing half of the circuit which the spark was looking for .
As you know a requirement is to keep the LC ratio, so basically he
had a tesla coil which is the opposite and was looking for the
capacitor

Hi Arthur,

You really should read some history before re-writing it. Hertz'
antenna was a single turn of wire (as was the receiver's).

If you cannot figure out how Hertz' antenna resonance was achieved
(let me drop the shoe here, and say "in the conventional way"), then
you are more than 120 years behind in the game.

It really has all been done before. Books have been written about it,
several movies too, and perhaps a segment on the Discovery Channel.
