Original poster: "Mccauley, Daniel H by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <daniel.h.mccauley-at-lmco-dot-com> Can you post some pictures of your coil??? Did you try tuning the thing correctly using a movable tap on the primary coil? Did you actually measure the capacitance of your home-made capacitors to make sure they are the right capacitance?? If your NST working properly??? Dan
