Very tidy mate, I was tempted to ask Roger for a bag of those plates but simply don't have the time or facilities anymore to manufacture equipment.
Do you think you could make a loop to tune from 1.8-7.5MHz? I know the capacitor will l have to provide around 1000pF and the loop will have to be around 6 foot in diameter.

Cheers
