Thanks Guys:
I appreciate your time in the replies.
I'm learning quite a lot from your discussions; appreciate being here.
And, its giving me the growing confidence to tackle my 2 x 813 rig I've
'dedicated' myself to making.
On these parasitics, I gather that they are 'spikes' or sudden bursts of
xmission.
As such, they should be measureable and able to be captured electronically.
Also, regarding predisposed resonances, might a simple grid dip meter sniff for
suspicious hot spots via meter excursions?
It seems like the real-world problem is the physical arcing phenomena and the
damage done.
As we know, arcing due to voltage breakdown is affected greatly by dimensional
characteristics of the two 'electrodes' involved - that is, the 'sharpness' or
pointiness of the surface in close proximity.
...and for those in Denver, air density & air pressure.
Lastly, it appears that the breakdown voltage & arcing may be due to either
charged (air) ion OR the electron whorling around the E-field.
Seems like the breakdown voltages are different for each bugger ( please see
www.ce-mag.com/archive/02/01/mrstatic.html. )
Please excuse me if I'm repeating something already known.
Regards,
Steve
