I guess you're equating voltage gain to Q factor with the 0.394 volts. You had 0.12 V diode drop on the bare coil results. Any chance of a direct top volts measurement to normalise the profile? I expect it will be less than 163.6 V. Were you driving the coil through the primary, or into the base? Is anyone else working on ways to pickup the V profiles, or are we leaving all the hard work to Terry? I think a charge storing probe similar to Terry's, but with a capacitive coupling would be worth a try, if a way could be found to give the diode a DC path.
