Mark, thanks for posting this (you beat me!). Looking at the drawing in your first link, it's possible that my copper foil connects to the RF line rather than ground as I had described it.
Unfortunately, that tap is back at my house in Silicon Valley, so I can't verify. Here, at my "portable 6" QTH, my tap has no foil because a flat response isn't important to me for signal monitoring.
