Hi Bart

About ten years ago I did some tests with some MOTs.
As far as I can remember, your tests are very much in line with the tests I 
made.

I am surprised at the high K numbers though. I would assume lower coupling due 
to the shunts, etc. but at the time I was only looking at the saturation curve, 
open circuit voltage and short circuit current.

I think resonant cap size is quite reasonable considering open circuit 
voltage/short circuit current. Shows that a MOT is more pig like than NST like.
