We are in fact getting drenched right now, which is
one of the reasons that I have time to do email, and
it looks like it's not going to let up anytime soon.

It's just as well for the next few days though, since
I'm in the machine shop, working on the 4"x6"x27" G-10 
slabs that will comprise the new electrode holders.
If these break, I had better be behind a sturdier 
steel plate than the one I have now...

BTW, The name of this project is Electrum, given by artist 
Eric Orr, who provides the aesthetic input for this coil
and its interface with the proposed surrounding landscape.
Personally, I call it 154L130K, referring to the secondary
length and thruput power.
