Excellent. And, doing it at the last minute is always the best way. Eliminates "Analysis Paralysis"
secondary in 10.4 cm/4 inches diameter, 1200 turns, fed by a 6000V/30mA NSTI got some sparks about a feet long - I did not expect to see them float around and move the way they do - this is the first time I've seen a TC in action face-to-face.
Yeah.. if you're used to seeing still photos, the movement aspect is interesting.
Next things to do is to build a RSG, put the Terry filter and the MMC in a better looking box, and move to a new home so I can get a real RF ground. The chicken wire counterpoise looks very cheap.
Get a piece of wood or carpet and put the chicken wire on the bottom. Something like one of those split bamboo window shades would be great. Rolls up, looks nice, etc.
