Hi Victor,

With your power source and a static gap, you should be getting 20 to
30 inches.  Tuning your coil can be done for the longest spark to an
strike target that's grounded to the base of your sec coil (RF
ground).  Try to fine tune it to within a 1/4 turn after you course
tune it.  In general, a coil system should be course tuned at low
power variac settings before fine tuning it at full power.

    Hi Victor,

It's coarse, of course, not course (of course) unless, of course, you take a course in coarse tuning.

;^)))
Sorry if this sounds coarse, of course. Gerry's advice is very valid, of course!!!
