Hi All,
          I had the pleasure of hosting Bert Pool and wife Leslie for 
part of last evening. Bert is the first coiler I've met on the List 
that I've actually met in person. He arrived here at my workplace 
around 6:30PM after a long drive down country. He will be here for 
another eleven days or so.
     I showed him some of the test gear I've been using in my coil 
researches, the terminal from which I've been communicating with you
and we finally fired the coil out back. He shot a considerable amount 
of video including a brief description of the test gear, coil and 
some of the photos of magnifier waveforms I captured on the scope 
recently. So there - it's all real :)
     He gave me a superb photograph of the magnifier system he and 
Bill Emery have been working on which showed it throwing sparks all 
over the yard in front of his garage. The craftsmanship is superb and 
he left me with some very handy ideas on building more powerful 
systems. I'm told by Leslie that one of the trees has since demised 
due to repeated strikes. We ended the meeting with a light meal in a 
local restaurant.
