Looks like I can answer this question too now. See what I posted here:
So, if you want real power, you should drive it with a frequency 100 or 1000 times the natural resonance frequency of the transformers and feed that to one open end of one of the primaries. Then you can tap off all the power you want from the "primaries" of the others.
So, you basically make a simple sine-wave HF oscillator and use that to get the whole thing into resonance. If the frequency you "transmit" is x times lambda, you basically get an "x lambda" antenna, which will give you a considerable, *real* gain.
Will this work, or do we have to split the circuit in two and use modulation the way Puharich did?

It has been many years now, but I took a 70 hour course in 'Antenna Theory and Design', one of the first being offered in the early 70's. Anyway you have to be careful when you talk of antenna gain as it is not a true gain, what is happening is the radiation pattern is modified and concentrated into a focused area. I used collinear antennas for some time when I was active in ham radio and they did just this, they pulled the energy lost into the upper levels down to a low profile and this energy was greater for the receiver in uv/m, yet there was no OU here. We had a simple rule of thumb about obtaining a greater distance from a transmitter (specific of course to the freq range) and that was to go twice the distance, (a) double your antenna height or (2) quadruple your transmitter power. A beam antenna is a great example of the focusing of the energy, yet there is no OU involved.
Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying, but to my knowledge a conventional antenna arrangement only modifies the pattern and gives one a moment of thought in the result.
