I, myself, am not sure. I did alittle digging and actually found a reference
for spark gap inductance.
"The Inductance of the Discharge in a Spark Gap"
by P.Persephonis
Journal of Applied Physics
volume 71
number 10 (?)
15 May 1992
pages 4755 -4762
Have not really had time to really look it over or run any calculations on it.
But from what I have read so far it says the inductance of the discharge is
can run from 30nH on up...
Do not know how significant that is (as applied to Q factor calculations), but
its certainly worth noting...
Will keep posted,
Tim
