I don't, but in order to do so without wrecking the transformer it is
imperative to keep the wires wetween the transformer secondary and TC
sparkgap as short as possible (like a few inches). The main gap _is_
the safety gap by proxy so it is also imperative to keep the gap
setting at or below the o/c peak output voltage of the transformer.
    If both the above conditions are not adhered to it would be wise
to include a filter.
