Re: Ozone

Bill, Ralph and all,

True - and that reminded me of another ozone related problem. I originally used a large rubber band to attach the RF ground to a metal plate on the base of my 10" secondary coil. However, I had to change the design since ozone rapidly destroyed the rubber band. The band rapidly lost elasticity, cracked (looking similar to a tiny dried river bed), and then fell apart within weeks under the onslaught of ozone... :^)

Sure, but it depends on how low the level, and how long it took to rust
them.
I've heard that low levels of ozone also damage audio tape machines, VCRs,
and other devices which depend on rubber belts or rubber drive wheels.
So don't store your box of latex gloves (or your rubber halloween fetish
costume) in the same room you run your TC?
