Bruce's astitute comments are true...I goofed in my too-broad statement 
regarding "linear scale" when simply using a VFO coil tap to lessen the 
tuning range of a "too large pF variable capacitor."  It's more detailed than 
I led all to believe.
However the VFO osc coil can be tapped to great advantage to builders and it 
is an oft ignored means of better utilizing parts on hand to build, 
especially the very hard to find variable capacitor of "just the right 
value"...
A special THANKS to Bruce for catching my blunder and an even greater thanks 
to him for kindly "privately" noting to me my mistake to me that I could 
correct my own error.  Courtesy is contageous.
