Hi Terry, all,

Terry, you put: "for L between 0 and 30 inch: C(pF) = 1/15 * L" , otherwise 
C(pF) = 1/6 L" - 1/4(pF) ".
Perhaps you could reserve the first inch or so for corona-effects and also 
derive a lossy C-increase for that.
One of my teachers has said: " Everything that happens in nature may be 
expressed in powers of e."
Taking this, maybe a differential equation in which you could change 
empirical factors, could in the future also take care of the right dimensions.
I keep following the modelling excersises on this site with interest!
