As I have seen, many coilers make there pri/sec to tightly coupled
thinking
only in terms of magnetism. They may think the tighter coupling has a
greater magnetic transfere - which is true... But overcoupling saturates
the
secondary coil almost instantly every cycle and doesn't allow for the
circuit to resonate freely. Just something to keep in mind.
