Hello folks. Well, I finished the wiring of my TC today and started the
tuning phase.
I am thinking about having the capacitors in a straight line to have a
larger voltage differential (like shown below):
1 2 3 4 5 6 .... 14 15
----- ------ ----- ------ ----- ----- ....... ------ -------
Congratulations! It's a good idea to mount the capacitors in straight
line. Add resitors in parallel with them (10 M or more, long enough
to sustain the voltage (I use 4 10 M resistors in series)), or some
capacitors may remain charged for long time after you turn the power
off, and even accumulate too high voltages during operation, due to
corona rectification effects.
