I had not thought about that reduction in topload capacitance. However, 
making the coil longer, as advised by Greg, adding more turns to lower the 
frequency would be easy. Primary would follow.

I don`t see how Vp is dropping. I set it at 50kV because it is a nice 
number, what`s causing the drop?
