To protect the NST, you want the cap to be LTR (larger than resonance)
for a 12/30 NST the resonant cap would be .066uf. From what Iv read
the cap should be about %50 bigger than that, so .0099uf, is the
target value. Most of this info I picked up from various users
websites, most of which are on this list....

How do you arrive at the conclusion that .01uF is almost exactly
right for a static spark gap?  Is there some way of mathematically
calculating this or is it purely experimental?  And is this dependent
on voltage or other factors?

Thanks,
