Hi Syd,

Fantastic photo's and coil! I probably got to this late as I just 
returned from a 7 day outage. Wow, a lot of power there. Thanks for 
sharing your construction photo's as well. Looks like the "Giant 
Purple People Eater"! I found the gap, the diode array, and lots of 
other neat odds and ends very interesting. Wish I could get down 
there to Southern Cal. It would be really great for anyone down that 
way to take a look. Excellent job with that coil and those powerful 
long sparks. It's so cool to see a coil run at those big power levels.

Take care,
Bart
