[snip] You may not need such a heavy duty spark generator. Instead of trying to generate sparks at the requisite frequency, whatever you think it is, why not just adjust the resonance of the tank circuit to match it instead? IOW, let each spark generate lots of high frequency oscillations? Just as in old spark gap radio transmitters.
