Re: [TCML] SRSG vs. RQSG



When i used to make spark gap coils, I found the "sucker gap" to be the best
compromise in performance and complexity to build.  Going to a SRSG was only
slightly higher performance over a sucker gap, but a sucker gap was much
better performing than any RQ gap id ever built.  I was often getting about
48" of spark from a 12/60 NST using a sucker gap which seemed pretty awesome
back then ;-).
