Hi Scot,
             Unfortunately your idea doesn't work. Connecting a second 
resonator to the top of the first makes the entire secondary system 
behave as though it was a much larger coil and tune changes 
completely. I gave a recipe for calculating the final frequency of 
such a combination several days ago. If you want to see why it 
happens like this, consider that you are connecting a low 
impedance (base of second coil) to a high impedance (top of the 
first). The result is a complete change of tune (unless the second 
resonator has very low inductance and a tiny capacitance).
       Streamer length is related to power input, primary energy and 
resultant output voltage.

Regards,
Malcolm
