Hi all,

I have this question in my mind for weeks: According to the 1996 (or any)
edition of "The ARRL Handbook For Radio Amateurs", "the (coupling)
coefficient with air-core coils may run as high as 0.6 or 0.7 if one coil is
would over the other." This is logical to say that the maximum efficiency of
a regular (3 air-core coils) magnifier system can never beyond 70%, yet I
remember that in one of Richard Hull's tapes, Richard said that it can
approaches 100%. How come?

Also, what is the maximum efficiency of a soild state magnifier?
