Hi All,

Well, we all survived just fine ;-))

Here is the only "official" picture ;-))

To the left is Gerry's wonderful coil that really worked well!!  My little 
coil in the middle is running very poorly!!  I need to give it a service to 
see what is wrong with it...  My E-bay toob coil to the right continues to 
work very well with it's brand new (no burning wood now) grid resistors.

About 120 people showed up and they were all impressed ;-))  We had two 
video cameras there with pro wireless mics and all...  They wanted to put 
it on local access TV and we pinged them to get us the videos too.  I think 
we can get it on some kind of DIVX format soon so you can all see too.

Gerry put brand new PFC caps on his coil so it only drew like 9 to 12 amps 
off the AC of this old school house.

The Kill-A-Watt meter did not like being on the end of an extension cord at 
all!!  I think the cord's inductance allowed enough RF to reach the meter 
to mess it all up.  We shielded the cord really well and then it was 
fine.  But I think those meters like to be right at the wall 
outlet.  Gerry's coil was running about 0.93 to 0.94 PF.

I had not hauled around a few hundred pounds of Tesla coil stuff in a long 
time...  I hope the new DRSSTC will fix that side of these demos ;-))))

Cheer's
