Hi Malcolm,
Since I've been out of the loop for a while I've wanted to ask: have you
concluded
anything definite from your measurements as to how the sparkgap losses
vary
with primary current? At one time I was guessing roughly Rgap~1/I primary.
What is it really?

PS, I can help you with your capacitor order if you need me to order/ship
them
to you. Just let me know. I wonder where Brooksville is?
