Richard Hull,

Thanks very much for your reply.  I have a question on one of your comments:

I had asked:

>> 3.  Do you agree that additional "safety gaps" (and "capacitors to
>> ground") are not needed in the "recommended" circuit?

And you commented:

>3.  I have long ago cast the safety gaps aside.  They often do as much 
>harm as good and besides, in the shunted gap mode, the main gap is also 
>the safety gaps.  I still shunt each xfrmer lead to ground with 500pf!

Would you elaborate on "do as much harm as good"?

Thanks again.

Tedd Payne
