Hallo Gary

OK, its not an NST but a transformer I wound on my own, but this 
should not change
much.

Yes, I have only one secondary on one leg of the core, directly wound 
to the metal
core
and the inner end electrically connected to the core to keep the 
voltage stress small
between the
core and the innermost windig layers.
The point where the winding is connected to the core is additionally 
connected to
mains ground
at the time, but can be easily changed to RF ground.
I only feared that using RF ground could somehow mess up the isolation of the
secondary to the core.

I currently use such a 2 terminal gap, so all I should do is move the ground
connection.
