The idea of trying 20+ pipes on a static gap was not
mine but one of Mr. Terry Fritz.  I would very much
like it if he would comment on something I'm quite
sure he said a year or two ago on the list regarding
achieving a 1st notch quench in one of his systems
using the same gap I used in these tests.

I would like to know what measurement techniques were
used to determine information regarding quenching.
Wire antenna and scope?  Plane wave ant?  Project
Color?

Thanks, Malcolm, for applying a decent amount of
skeptical scrutiny to my attempt at comparing those
two gaps.  I would have spent more time preparing the
testing conditions and written a nice paper to back
this stuff had I known there would have been more
interest.  Next time I will be on my toes.
