I think so.  The effects seen are easily explained by circuit theory.  "I"
just never "realized" it all before.  MicroSim gets the same result:

How is the

Less than 1 ohm.

The two coil primary/secondary system simply has a two hump frequency
response which covers a fairly wide band.  This is also true for two coil
(primary secondary) CW coils.

Cheers,
