They should form "ok".For that kind of fr you should
have a big coil with a considerable power or
relativelly smaller resonator with many turns and
"large topload".If smaller coil choosen for design I
think it will have somewhat shorter spark lenght
compared with usual coil of same size for a given
input power.
One way or another higher bps are not recomended due
to various reasons for that low resonant systems.

Oho-ho it does.150 mA rms & 16 khz you'll not be able
of willingly letting go a grasped electrode.
