According to a doco about "Caduceus coils" I found on the interwebs:
(www.stealthskater.com/Documents/TIME/Caduceus.doc)

"One radio amateur found that with 2 such coils -- one used as a 
transmitter and the other as a receiver -- the second would not pick up 
the signal from the first unless they were precisely aligned.  For the 
signal to be transmitted, the alignment had to be as critical as that of a 
laser beam."

Maybe the alignment issue might be a bit of a problem for our poor 
POTS starved Granny Myrtle McCready :-)

Very very interesting phenomena though: apparently zero impedance! Thanks 
for the info. I never heard about them when I was doing Electronics at 
RMIT.
