Actually, if you don't get the coils in the proper ratio/position to
each other, efficiency drops DRAMATICALLY!

Like usual, the best configuration to give the best reception of a known
and stable signal also results in the antenna being to configured to
achieve maximum radiation ...

Or simply, if the antenna isn't performing as a full length 1/2
wave--reconfigure 'till it does! Which, using the test fixture I
supplied, is done quickly with no problem ...
