About 4X the fundamental frequency for air streamers for the basic 
signals.  There is some stuff up to about 25MHz.  Here are scope

Note how Greg solved the HV isolation problem to run the scope ;-)))

Kevin Eldridge blew a pig right off the pole once with his Bigg coil ;-))

The power company happily replaced it right away and said they were 
sorry it failed ;-)))
