Toroid stubborness and HV sickness



Original poster: "by way of Terry Fritz <teslalist-at-qwest-dot-net>" <Pomnept-at-aol-dot-com>

To continue with my toroid troubles, my secondary is 22.5 inches closewound
22 AWG, primary 13 turns 1/4 copper tube spaced 1/4 inch and tapped at 6.25
turns (my LC meter reads 16.6 uH.) My saltwater cap. measures .013 uf . 
Small RQ
style gap w/ muffin fan, toroid is semi-rigid ducting- 22.5", 52". My power is
a 15/60 NST.
No sparks without a tack!
When tuning using 30% power, sparks develop slowly. Also at full power w/
breakout point- they sputter and get slowly longer over time. Anybody know 
what
this means?
Thanks in advance,
Robert Hanford
