 Thank you guys for some really helpful answers,
 	One more question (I am kind of starting to sound like a broken
 record).  What would you say would be a good safety gap on my 6kv neon?
  >>

I would suggest making up something with either copper blocks or even brass
bolts and phenolic or plastic for supports and insulation.  You need three
contacts with the center stationary and the two outside (bolts) adjustable.
 The center contact goes to your main RF ground (transformer case, bottom of
secondary, etc).  The two moveable contacts connect directly to the H.V.
transformer outputs.  Start with each gap set to about .10" or .15" and
adjust them so they just barely fire when the coil is running.
