Robin,

I find my coils like to run when it's near freezing outside. The humidity
doesn't seem to matter much as long as it's non condensing (although high
humidity here in the Southern California Desert is 40%)...

Regards,
Brian

PS - I ran my coil last weekend between rain showers. Temp was 40 degrees
Fahrenheit and performance was great (6' ground strikes with an occasional
7'). Normally I wouldn't run in these conditions but Alex Crow was here from
England.

PSS - We did have a small disaster. I have a heavy skirt around the base of
my coil to block the RSG light. This skirt blew into the RSG and the "*****
hit the rotating oscillator". It broke the eight rotating electrodes into 24
pieces :(

Hi all,

 I have a question involving the performance of TC's and the ambient
weather conditions. For those that don't know
