Nicolas.

Your resonant frequency in the tank is the same as the secondary res. freq.

Keep in mind that the primary inductance is divided in 2, so that 1/2 is 
in each primary coil. This means that each primary coil should have 1/2 
the total inductance.
There is going to be some inductance in the wires between the tanks 
also, so my guess is that the coils woll tune with around 3,5 - 4 
primary turns.

Whereabouts do you live? I`m in the Hobro area.

Cheers, Finn Hammer
