This is essentially my setup:

A tall solenoid coil has practically no coupling when connected to the
center tap of a flat spiral coil.  The solenoid is operating as a resonator.
That is how I generated the coronal standing waves (longitudinal, scalar,
whatever you want to call them) on the topload.
