Thanks Terry,
The thing I find amazing is that the MOT being centered under the primary was the LEAST lossy position. I would have predicted just the opposite! It seems like this is saying that the coupling from the primary to another "thing", say, a secondary coil, is at a minimum when they are coaxial. Do you think that pri-sec coupling would behave this way?

Hi,
This type of primary resistance/loss testing was done for the early SISG:

This file has the equations and is probably the most useful.
