Tesla used low frequency to charge capacitors which were then discharged and produced bursts of high-frequency impulses in groups. This was the original way of running a Tesla transformer, not by regular impulses. Tesla many times talked about "free vibration of the secondary," which is this pause between the discharges. I have noticed that the SCR discharge produced something similar like the spark gap discharge, but I haven't examined that in detail, just a vague memory. Even if the high frequency is not possible with large coils, it may be obtained by the discharge mechanism.
