It would seem to me, there are but two ways to couple to the ether,
either capacitively or inductively, if such is even possible (there
could be "something else", who knows?)

At a certain ratio of capacitance to inductance, in the design of an
antenna, that "magical/mystical value" of 477 ohms would be reached.

However, you emphasize the inductive coupling ... I see other antennas
emphasizing e and h fields and all sorts of stuff in between.

In all this mumbo-jumbo something may, indeed, exist ... to date, "I
just don't get it" ...
