Hi Robin, all, 

This is just kind of a wild guess, but my guess on the cause of this phen-
nomena is that you are tuning to different harmonics which peak out -at- V/
max at different places along the sec. coil as you vary the P frequency by
tapping -at- different points on the primary. Of course, obviously you want to
tune where V/min occurs -at- the base and V/max occurs -at- the top or at
the toroid. If V/max occurs somewhere between the top and the bottom of
the sec coil, then there is naturally going to be more problems with flasho-
vers near where V/max occurs. I'm sure there are others on the list that 
can give a better more technical explanation of this.

Good Coilin,
