Hi Terry,
  I was thinking of doing that, but I need a 400 meg
bleeder.. :-/ You had said I could get away with a 100meg 5
watt bleeder, but the price for the resistors was something
like 6 bucks each.. so I found some 22 meg 1/4 watt carbon
film resistors on mouser (AFTER sending the email, while
looking for something else.. ;) ).. 6 bucks for 200..
remind me never to try to use a 35lb trasmitter cap in the
future.. ;)

Thanks again for the help!!

(the new coil's ALMOST done! :-D )
