SAFETY GAP CONNECTIONS

   From some of these discussions I get the impression that there is 
a recommendation that with a "two-gap" system protecting an NST the 
center terminal of the gap should go to "an RF ground" SEPARATE from 
the center tap (usually case) of the NST.  That sounds wrong to me as 
I can't see how such a connection would necessarily protect the 
transformer from inadvertent over voltage conditions.  Connection to 
the center tap AND a good RF grounds makes more sense.
