I have no room to construct a cage period. I was wondering what my options
are, I have not FIRED MY COIL since the new find of telephone RFI and won't
untill I find some  way to shield it. I can cover the caps and gap system
with a metal box and bring it to ground but that is it as far as any type of
cage goes. I am also going to build a small coil as this may reduce the rfi,
I hope.
I am looking for answers not flames, hunting has nothing to do with coiling
but you made a point so... BTW, I hunt, fish, dive, fly, and I have never
had trouble nor have I put insulators in my sights. I have had animals in my
sights and people (call of duty) but never once have I shot and killed a
insulator sign or person. I did shoot and kill some cans though. Seroiusly,
I really don't have any room for a cage, if I did I would build it over my
computer:) 
As for you Daniel (and Fred as I know you are reading and turning red), my
coil has not been on and won't untill I can find that magic device to block
the RFI or line noise. My question has not been answered, however.........

 How ludicrous

I do not have the space or room for my coil almost, I was looking for line
filters better that what I have, the ones I use are made by ISOBAR.
