The problem is that the circuit from the toroid to the surroundings 
and back to the coil's base ground is in series with the winding AC 
resistance.  It is hard to tell how much current there is lost just 
to heat in the ground return path or might be radiated.  I suspect 
very little is radiated, but the type of test I did could not 
determine that for sure.

A better test would be to run the secondary at Fo from a signal 
generator in say an open field and use a LF radio receiver.  Just 
walk back and find out how far you get ;-)

One could probably figure it out pretty well with some thought as to 
how to calibrate everything in that simple case.

   Agree with all of that.
