Re: remote location of NSTs - away from coil base?

With our pole pigs we always use 12 ---- 200 watt resistors in parallel ---
final impedance is 50 Ohms which sacks most transients from hitting 
the pig. We use an air core choke between resistors and sparkgap also 
with our pole powered systems.  Pigs may take it for awhile but I 
don't believe in child abuse (piglet abuse in this case).

Good engineering is always a good idea.
