These are beginning coilers I am talking with here Mark.

These Coils:

1) are cheaper
2) are faster and easier to build
3) are less bulky, they take up less space
4) can be fired with as little as a 9kv 30ma neon

But you are an expert, a professional in this field. These other
guys are lower key hobbiests.

I try to get these guys started around 200 kHz, and to shoot
downward from there. There is a lot of good coiling between 500
kHz and > 100 kHz where you hang out.
