I just finished my new PSSTC (Pulsed SSTC) and have hit 66" so far with
minimal tuning and pretty shoddy primary tank wires (12 AWG).

Specifications from these photos:
DC Bus Voltage:  335VDC
Primary Capacitor:  0.11uF, 12kV MMC
Fres:  111 kHz
Pulsewidth:  250us
PRF:  100 Hz

which initiated failure)
Distance from toroid to right wall is approximately 70 inches.
