The corona kit reportedly did not work for someSB-1000 owners. My guess
is that the SB-1000s were intermittently oscillating c. 155MHz.
(bandswitch photos on my Website) Since you were the discoverer of the
nearby Tune-C resonance that explains the phenomena of intermittent
arcing in AL-80 and SB-1000s, why have you stonewalled the issue? The
writing Is on the wall, Mr Rauch.

The Tune-C is usually resonant in the VHF range. At frequencies just
above and just below these frequencies, the Tune-C becomes an unloaded
L-network that steps up Z and V. During the Grate Parasitics Debate, I
introduced an L/C network that would step 120v, 60Hz up to over 11,000v,
Would anyone like to guess what Mr. Rauch had to say about this.?

The anode-resonance is just above or just below a series resonance in the
Tune-C.
- congrats on your contribution to this discovery, Mr. Rauch.
