 THANKS ALL FOR THE INPUT ON FILTERING.   MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THIS DID 
NOT HAPPEN LAST YEAR, BUT I'LL INSTALL MORE FILTERING AND LOW VALUE 
CAPACITORS AT THE SERVICE ENTRANCE TO OUR HOUSE.

One thing to consider is the possibility of high frequency noise riding 
back to the mains on the line powering your spark gap. In my experience, 
the huge inductance of the distribution transformers eats up most of the 
noise trying to return on the hv lines, but often times the gap line is 
ingnored. Even if you avoid any direct hits of tank rf to the gap assembly, 
just its proximity to the e-field can pump high frequency back into the 
supply. I use an LC combo on both lines that power the gap.. thought about 
adding some MOVs, but it hasn't been an issue.

Perhaps you're already filtering that... just a thought.
