Hi John, all,
I've noted the impedance matching aspect in another
reply....

Actually I think it is. The only real difference I can see is that the
feed impedance for the free resonator is near ideal.

Absolutely! This has been a plan of mine for a while.

All the benefits :)

Well power is now going into spark whereas it was heating the ground
before. The ground is never going to have zero impedance. For one
thing, only the damp subsurface really conducts. Trying to connect to
the core directly is out of reach for grounding systems in use. That
means that any connection must be capacitive and any resistance in
the coupling path is going to waste power.

Exactly what I did.
Thanks for the thoughts,
