Re: [TCML] Running a TC in snow

["John Forcina" <forcijo10@xxxxxxxxx>]

I suppose if you had the kind of secondary that is under oil then i dont see
any reason why you would not be able to run it in the snow.  Better yet use
a drsstc and you wont have to worrk about a spark gap or anything with very
high voltages except in the primary circuit.
