Thanks Mark,

I spotted the Vp error (it is in more than one place, I changed subscripts
half way through and forgot to back annotate all eqs) and have fixed it,
unfortunately I do not have FTP access here at work to upload the amended
paper.

Actually if I don't use sqrt(2)xVr for the spark gap and just use Vr, I end
up with 4pi x f !
