spice syntax for k includes coupling coefficient and coils involved, so
any coils with a mutual k will do. close coupling can be k=1 or less.
use acmi or solnoid3 (notice solenoid is misspelled, so search on that)
to get a feel for how couplings (k, M) work and just guestimate your
coupling for different geometries and cores.
BTW k= M/sqrt(L1.L2) and if you use your spice program to renumber your
parts and everything goes south, change the ref designators in your k
part.

Fo for this deal is 96MHz min and it presents a load of 112.5 ohms to
the amp.
i was thinking in terms of stickin a choke in there so RF doesn't see
the 1k Rc and making the RF load look bigger than 50 ohms.
Thanks to all who've replied to this query. I've noted all the
responses and will be sifting through them in fine detail later today.
I've managed to find my copy of Bowick's excellent book, BTW (bottom
of my suitcase). I'm going to refresh my memory on a few things from
it before I go inquire further of the Panel.
However, I do wish to continue running simulations and need a bit of
clarification on the following final point:-
If I place a coil and capacitor in parallel in a Spice simulation, the
resulting circuit will end up with infinite impedance at resonance,
will it not? This must invalidate any results I obtain. So I need to
know what amount of resistance to add and where it should go in order
to mimic the real world losses such a tuned circuit would give rise
to. I want to get the maximum degree of accuracy, obviously. So chaps,
what's the best way of going about this? And rather more difficult;
how would one accurately model the mutual inductance of close coupling
a collector load coil to a separate coil feeding the next stage?
heh, heh. 10000000 sims. take a stab at the wire resistance of the coil
