And there is a single turn roughly the size described.

Finn,

There are 2 circuits with in effect 2 tanks caps, one does the work 1,000uF which is discharged into 10nF 1uH primary, about 2mhz. the 1,000uf just supplys the current, really there are 2 tank circuits in operation.

In the "good old days of spark" hams had a minimum allowed operating wavelength of 200 meters [~1500 kHz] and the the limit to the power they were able to run, law or not, was the physical size of the single-turn tank inductor which would resonate with the maximum useful primary capacitane of 0.01 ufd and the practical upper limit of primary voltage to about 25 kV [some guys used pole pigs even in those days] set their power. Primary was invariably a single turn of wide copper ribbon and it and the capacitor were connected to the spark gap [rotary for those who could afford it] with the shortest possible leads.
