"A well tuned coil loaded by spark and with a good ground radiates
very little. Remove any of the above three items and you can guarantee
you are causing someone a problem."
True. A Tesla coil is a very short helical resonator, and
doesn't have enough radiation resistance to do much out of the local
induction field. However, long leads from the spark gap can resonate
at VHF, causing significant TV interference. Keep those short...
