I've been reviewing a lot of
schematics, and archived messages
the last few days, and so far there seems
to be a 50/50 split on what the best
configuration for a spark-gap style TC
is... capacitor in series with primary,
or spark gap in series with primary? Both
seem to be equally as popular.  However,
being in a "wanna do it up right" mode, it
would truly behoove me (plus any newbies
we have lurking) to come up with a final
"this is it for now and all time" decision
as to which is better....so which is it?
