Well, it makes perfect sense to have the max inductance/max Q for a receiver coil.... Once tuned....you get the max power received.

  A high voltage gradiant and possible flashover are not always problems.  
In 
1898 Tesla adopted a .43/1 H/D ratio in the design of a receiving coil 
that 
was used in conjunction with his 8-foot diameter flat spiral 
transmitter. 
[Nikola Tesla  Guided Weapons & Computer Technology, Leland I. 
Anderson, 
Twenty First Century Books, 1998, p. 12.]  Another receiving coil had 
an H/D 
ratio of about .31/1.  Four other Tesla coil receivers, resembling 
tables, 
are known to have existed. [ibid, pp. 16 & 41]  One of these had an H/D 
ratio of .45/1 [N. T. on His Work With Alternating Currents and Their 
Application to Wireless Telegraphy, Telephony and Transmission of Power 
: An 
Extended Interview, Leland I. Anderson, Twenty First Century Books, 
1992. p. 
150], two .47/1 and another .55/1.  To this day, .33/1 resonators are 
being 
used in conjunction with wireless energy transmission and reception 
experiments. ["The Wireless Transmission of Electrical Energy," William 
Wysock, Telluride Tech Festival, Aug. 10-12, 2005.]
