Yes,that was the question.By the time of max.
secondary output voltage occurence ->associated with
the energy transfer in first "notch".

Good and rather accurate method of the msm,below
breakout,is the system using a plane wave antenna
array.
Here is the one constructed by Terry F:

I also estimate it should be more than 75% efficient.
