My point was that weakly energized part of cloud charge (which amount is considerable in my opinion) does not directly take part in lowering secondary frequeny during discharge while part of total charge that belongs to hot arc (leader state) part does that. As far I rememeber Terry or somebody else on this list performed Malcolm's experiment where ions were artifically sprayed just above toroid and frequncy of secondary measured during the process.No significant shift was detected on that occassion. ---- > > Sounds nice!
