Anyone know if the variable cap, that I'm assuming is included in this
kit,
will suffice for the bc band loop I want to build?

I see a loopstick in the kit and they usually use a 365-pF cap to tune one
of those. Bear in mind the cap is probably a chintzy little thing with a
tiny knob. Check oselectronics.com (#BC14400, $10.95. p 96 of online
catalog) and tubesandmore.com (Antique Radio Parts, #C-V365, $11.95 and
probably the same cap). For what the kit costs I think you could get a
better cap, if that's all you need.
