Hi Satchid,
The problem with sparking is that it transmits at ALL frequencies at once
and is not tunable. That's because arcing is basically a square
wave. Square waves are made up of all frequencies. It will be picked up
on all bands from LF to AM to FM to TV, etc. Your best bet is to make a
Faraday shield around the setup to contain the actual arc transmission and
to install an RF filter on the AC line to keep interference from leaking
back into the mains.
Hope this helps.

Ok, I made CG now for the first time. I have 2 neon transformer primary
coils in parallel, secondary (high voltage) in series. Then made 2 holes
in a 1/4 " plastic plate and inserted 2 gold wires trough them. I bend
them to have approximately 1 mm gap between them. then I connected the
High-tension wires to the gold. filled the (1/2 liter) jar with DW and
inserted the gold wires in the water. about 12 to 15 mm submersed in the
water. Then plugged in and watched a good spark between the electrodes.
After about 30 minutes I stopped the process. there is a good but very
thin TE. the solution is still very clear.
This is only a test setup. I will now work on the electrode arrangement
that was posted earlier.
I have something that bothers me. The spark is generating high powered
electronic noise in the naberhood, this is disturbing for all the
nabourers that are listening to the radio or watching television. Apart
from the disturbance, there are always official people on the road with a
special equipped vehicle to listen in on illegal transmissions. I am
afraid that I am transmitting legally.
Is there something that can be done to limit the radio disturbance?

Thanks Ole-Bob and others, for your comments how to start with CG making.
Especially the drawing of Ole Bob's elektrode holder I copied on paper and
will study that. Probably next week I will pick up a CG generator from a
friend who bought one from the US, we can use that here with an extra
trafo 100->220V. It probably is such an arc CG generator. I will see how
the elektrodes are placed and certainly will follow your advice. Even
making the holder will not be to difficult. Thanks for the help and the
offer about the pyrex tubes. If I'm unable to obtain them here I'll let
you know.
