Kevin,

What a picture, 24 feet is an awesome accomplishment.

I am still pondering the issue of high sec. turns vs standard sec turns and
wanted to ask your thoughts, as I remember your 8" coil seemed to perform
very well
with ~2300 sec. turns.

How would you compare it to this Biggg coils performance as far as arc
brightness/color with
fewer turns in the sec.

Also would you mind recapping the final specs. on your Biggg Coil for all of
us on the list?
