John,

Never mind. I'm in the ball park  :-)

- The wire of 120 turns at the lower part of the coil is a little bit 
thicker already.

- If it was bigger and the impedance was higher I could have used 
more tank C which leads to a higher circulating current. The way to 
go.

- I'd like to know the results. Good luck!
