Never use coax to run from power supply to oscillator --- it can sometimes
develop enormous potentials due to Blumlein effects (standing waves).  We
did this once with a pole pig and the buildup was so powerful it was
flashing over the 16 inch long pole pig insulators -- very bad.  The pig
survived but this would be certain death to NST.   Best to use silicon HV
wire with Caton connectors.
