Here's the story:

After building my first coil, and having much fun, I have decided to
build another.  But instead of going for bigger is better (which it is),
in the interest of $$$$ I have decided to have fun on a different
scale.  I recently wound a "millicoil" on a 11/16" x 4.25" form with
30awg wire.  With a little tiny topload it should resonate around 3
megahertz.  I can build a primary and cap for it.  In fact I can even
use a .006 mfd cap, because the primary will have small inducance (1.5"
dia).  Aside from having a small bandwidth to primary turns ratio
==>difficult to tune, I was wondering if you forsee any problems.  I
plan to use a spark gap, my .006 capacitor, and my first nst: 7.5/18 (my
current coil has graduated to 15/30).

Thank you, and have a wonderful Christmas (I know how I'll be spending
my break)
