If I connect the srike rail to the RF gound what keeps the spark discharge from
continually striking the rail instead of discharging into the air? BTW my coil
is under construction, I am currently working on the secondary form. It's 7"
dia. x  28" , so can
I plan on getting any more than 28" streamers?  Thanks for your help.
