"Thankyou for the link. I've been googling on the blumlein effect
recently and the results seem to indicate a transmission line effect
used for pulse shaping. Assuming there isn't a broader
definition, I believe termination will kill the effect whether its
load or source termination. In the googled results, the effect was
initiated by a spark gap firing (like our TC's) with a fully charged
transmission line."
Right. There's no such thing as a "blum line"; Alan Blumlein was
the name of a British engineer who developed that configuration for
radar modulator use early in WW2. He was already a prominent TV
engineer. Unfortunately he was killed in a radar flight test
accident about 1943.
