"All the scoping I've done on a running coil shows secondary ringdown
(with discharges) occurs over a number of cycles - hence the mismatch
thing. I guess the question is: can we ever get a proper streamer Z
match to the secondary? I suspect not because the nature of Zstreamer
is not conducive to such a match.

        I also suspect that the impedance of the discharge is
steadily increasing as the voltage dropped, further complicating
matters.
