Hi Dr,

Thanks. After an other poster posted a link to an induction coil driven
Hertz experiment.
I attempted to verify that Hertz had indeed used "Lyden" jars with a Google
search and failed.
When I used the correct spelling I found that some of his experiments where
done with Leyden jars. In addition an Oliver Lodge of University College in
Liverpool England discovered waves on lines with them see
http://www.antiquewireless.org/otb/lodge1102.htm. He was experimenting to
explain some of the strange paths lightning some times takes. I had no idea
that my home town was so connected with the discovery transmission line
waves. I don't remember ever having read about him before. Apparently Hertz
just beat him to publication.

I also notice that some of Hertz's experiments apparently where performed
with GHz frequencies judging from the size of the dipoles. Surprising for a
spark gap generator.
