Hi All,

Back in November I wrote (in a thread about Medhurst C and
Terry's E-Tesla6 program):

Hello Paul,

I just downloaded and printed your 21 page document on "SECONDARY BASICS".
A little heavy for this time of night (10:00 PM) so  I will wait until
tomorrow to give it a read. (My brain wakes up about 9 AM and goes back on
holiday about 2 PM) every day. Looks like enough in it to keep me out of
mischief for several days. I did a crude set of measurements on my TC to
determine self capacitance. Perhaps you can comment on them. It is in my web
site

Thanks again   Chuck/Wimborne
