Getting multiple streamers where you previously had just one would
suggest that something has improved with the coil - it's more efficient,
or at least it's processing more power. The way to get back to one
single, but longer streamer is to use a larger topload, one that is as
smooth as you can manage, and of course vary the primary-side tuning to
keep it in tune. You may need a breakout point.
