The problem is not obtaining *a* transformer, the problem is 
obtaining *the* transformer that allows one to qualify for entry into 
this contest, such as it is. I still fail to see why a 5kV/30 
shouldn't fit the bill. The VA rating is almost identical to the 
modified 4kV/20 (which now becomes 4kV/42 or thereabouts). I suggest 
a bit more study of the theory to anyone who thinks I gain a 
significant advantage with my transformer. An optimum coil can be 
designed for either, peeling away component dependencies and leaving 
1.7*SQRT(VA) sitting in all its glory.

Regards,
Malcolm
