Hallo Terry.

another quick note.

you forgot that coupling in that part of sec is not more than about
0.3, so 800 * 0.3 = 240 KV - not so horrible bad IMNSHO for 10"
section, how do you think?
to check your theory i need to modify Inca`s code slightly - to
compute not only M & k, but voltage at every turn too, plus do the
corresponding plot. i`ll do that when i get some free time.
maybe : D
