To All,

I am attempting to measure power output from the base of a small 
quarter wave TC secondary.  

Since the secondary coil is oscillating as a tank circuit with the 
toroid and counter poise (earth) as capacitor plates (a very gross over 
simplification), shouldn't energy transfer at the base of the coil 
equal energy transfer at the top of the coil?

I have a phase corrected 12 kv 60 ma neon and power input should be 
easy to measure.  Base power measurement is in watts.  Over all TC 
power efficency should be easy to calculate.  

Any thoughts?
