RE: spark gap and cat hair

Hello all...de-lurk mode:

I am wondering if the Metlicka Triggered Gap has become a government secret?
Everyone, of late, discussing gaps, mentions RQ, static, SRSG...every
typical type but the t-gap.
My t-gap is plugging along, happy, and noisey as ever. But working reliably.
Ear muffs at additional cost. Just curious if everyone has forgotten it?

And as for cat hair...I have 6. Needless to say, hair is a factor. But
either the coil is outdoors (typically) and the cats are indoors. if not,
the cat is no longer a consideration unless you love burnt cat hair <!> If
you have that much cat hair to consider it a problem for a coil, then you
have too, too much cat hair around. Get a good shop vac, Oreck's are good
too. And brush the cats.

Safety First for Cats too.

Ted

if there is a fair amount of hair to deal with ... I think the vacuum 
gap would be better.
