If you've got two stationary coils, and you pass a link between them, maximum coupling will occur when the link is directly centered between the two coils, in the same plane as the two coils. This is the case in a 'swinging link' where the link moves into/out of the field of RF. In the case of a BC-610 type coil, where the coil is stationary, yet rotates on an axis between the two stationary coils, maximum coupling will occur when the turns on the link are paralleled with the turns on the coil. There's no confusion about coupling. The magnetic lines of flux prove that, daily. -- 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends. Drama queens.
