A comment on atmospheric pressure vs. spark length.

I was recently stunned to learn from one of our customers that a coil which 
had made 3-4' sparks in Colorado (5300' ASL) was making 5-6' sparks in 
Indiana (500' ASL).  Humidity was about the same, according to NWS 
records. 

Geez, I'd love to get my big coil (12'+ sparks without the new series 
rotary gap, which is in progress) down to sea level!
