I think you are heading down the wrong path with the series circuit as your
fighting a loosing battle. Assuming a perfect coil and capacitor you create
an infinite Q circuit. Now you hook it up in your circuit. First there has
to be enough resistance to develop the voltage , and here is the rub, as you
increase the resistance to develop a voltage you decrease the Q. Yuk!

Go with a parallel circuit like the rest of the world uses and you will be
going in the right direction.


I think I'm starting to get it. Am I cutting off my foot to spite my
face::

Comments made by you and a few others have nudged mein the right
direction.....

The higher I make the series resonant Q, the lower the impedance goes,
hence it's almost impossible to get a lot of voltage out of it??

Not sure why it matters that much. But, I was under the impression
that a perfectly matched antenna and front end would only decrease the
Q by a factor of 2.

Follow along with Richard's comments if you like and add your comments
as I check here often and read everything, sometimes many mant y
times::

PS:I had begun thinking that the higher imedance presented by a
parallel loop was harder to match with a balun, which is why I started
thinking of a series loop. I'm gettin there, thansk again.
