Alfred,
I have seen this. It just seems that no one today uses such a design and
almost always people try to minimize the inductance of the primary circuit
that is not actually coupled to the secondary. I was just applauding the idea
of the tuning coil and will put one in my tank circuit in my lastest coil :o)
