RE: [TCML] Filter Choice

"And if you're at all unclear on what it means to properly set the gap,
please ask!"

My spark gap is made of of 8 copper electrodes about 1 mm away fom each
other. My current method here was just to start the gap at at one electrode,
and then increase the distance one by one until it can't break down the air
anymore.  I understand as you increase the distance, and NST has to pull
more current, so if there is a better way to calibrate it, please let me
know.

I actually had to stop it today because at a certain voltage pull, I think 4
electrodes, there was arcs across the cap bank (as in the caps were putting
out orange arcs that shorted out nearby ones in the wrong way across the
circuit).  I think putting them on a PC board wasn't a good idea :(  Anyway,
I'm going to remount them on a plastic panel and get some better insulation
there to eliminate that little effect.
