I think this is a timely note. Initially I was seeing some waveforms
that didn't make sense. This is the first time I've tried using the
storage scope out in the garage. On removing the resonator from the
test setup it was immediately obvious I had been seeing mostly
primary waveforms with a bit of resonator thrown in. To get around
that, I repositioned everything so that the primary/secondary gap
and wiring to them was as far away as possible and the resonator was
less than six feet from the probe. The resultant waveforms were high
in amplitude and clean as a whistle. I have a photographic record of
system output now.
