     This brings to mind a semi related point.
     Secondary current can be low.
     Is it the same, top to base (or vice versa)?

     I know this seems counterintuitive & mayhap I am overthinking:
       if a resonant secondary 'works like' a 1/4 wave antenna,
       would there be a current antinode (buildup) at the base.

     Anyone measured?

     How say the theoreticians?

     More so if operating without breakout?

     best
