If I remember correctly it was something like that. The counter had to
be very close to register clicks, such that it was consistent with alpha
particles, but it was not stopped by a peice of paper, which would have
stopped alpha particles, but which would allow through a voltage transient.

It worked quite succesfully for a couple of days experiments,
during which I found that the high dV/dT it generates causes false
positive clicks on my cheap geiger counter.
What was the approach you used to determine the clicks were false
positives? E.g., interposing a thick piece of metal?
