        I am not clear on the experimental set-up for this set of
measurements. Was this under sparking conditions (damped oscillations), or
were you driving the coil system with a low impedance sine wave generator?
I assume the load resistance is the resistance value placed across the
secondary coil.  Is this correct?  Also, how did you measure the primary
impedance?  Did you retune each experiment for maximum secondary voltage, or
was this fixed as R was varied?
        Most interesting!
