Well hello again..
Reading once again, I found a couple refs to pressurived OR vacuum spark
gaps..  Which one is it, or which one works the best??  Why?? Is it the
resistance in air, or the action on the air around the gap, or what?

Chris..
I practically welded my jesus stick to my caps today.  I had to hacksaw the
copper off to get it free..
Rrrrrrr.
I'm using a BF resistor next time...
:)
ah, the smell of melted copper in the morning...

P.s.  Did I mention that ya'll TC fans are so trusting??
I got an new NST sent to me on complete faith from someone I just met, and
Its on a UPS truck before the check even hits the post box.  Other
people/objects too!
Makes me feel all warm and toasty inside..
:)
