Key issues for the ST are transport, and steady state high β operation. To better understand electron transport, a new high-k scattering diagnostic was used extensively to investigate electron gyro-scale fluctuations. New results from electron Bernstein wave emission measurements from plasmas with lithium wall coating applied indicate transmission efficiencies near 70% in H-mode as a result of reduced collisionality. Other highlights are results of lithium coating experiments, demonstration of divertor heat load in strongly shaped plasmas and coupling of coaxial helicity injection plasmas to ohmic heating ramp-up.
