Bert,
	I just change over from a parallel spark gap to a shunt gap. A
big difference. I'm seeing small sparks in the banding of a 2' by 6'
locker i've got on the floor about 40" away. I don't need this! It
contains my HNO3, HCL, H2SO4, K2Cr04....



Oh s***, I just remembered my primers and powder, about 6' away, in
metal, of course!
