Many slug-tuned coils end up having a small negative
Temperature coefficient which is matched well by a mica's
Slight positive temperature coefficient.
For air and toroid coils ceramic NPO's are often a better match.
N750 is a pretty strong tempco and typically would be used
As a small part of the total tank capacitance.
