This should require a matching transformer otherwise not enough
current can flow to take advantage of the potentially huge Q. Without
current flow there will be no energy storage in a series circuit. In a
parallel circuit the current flow is internal between the parallel
reactances but in a series circuit it must be external. A series
circuit is naturally current driven so the transformer would basically
be converting current into a voltage that the receiver input can use.
If you measure your loop with a test signal you should find it
requires a lot of current and little voltage. From your
investigations, calculate the effective resistance and use this as
your Rs to find the actual Q and the matching turns ratio required for
an autotransformer, for example.

Good luck,
