[HBR] IFT for BFO Coil

[Stan Wilson]

Darrel I think the result of 470 and 150 is 320 pf ?  I always use the
rule of thumb to subtract in series and add in parallel will be very
close to resultant value.

Has anyone had any experience converting an I.F. transformer to a BFO
coil? 
I have a 100 kC transformer. It has a 110 pF capacitor across the coil.
I 
assume if I replace this with a 470 pF and 150 pF in series, that this
will 
keep the coil resonate and provide me with my feedback connection. Is it

this simple?
