Well your best bet is to start off with a capacitor that will
pretty well match your power supply. A .07 microfarad capacitor
will work just fine with this transformer.
Next you need to wind a coil set that will tune in with .07
microfarads capacitance on the primary. Are you thinking about
winding the secondary coil on three inch PVC pipe?
