Re: [TCML] update

[Carl Noggle <cn@xxxxx>]

A corona ring around the top of the coil is a good idea, but if it's 
closer than about the coil radius to the coil end, it should be split so 
it doesn't form a shorted turn.  A 1/8" gap or so does the trick.  A 
toroid should not be any closer than this to the coil end.
