     My boss is hosting a year-end bash at his house and he has asked me to 
     bring my TC for a little high-voltage fun.  The power supply for the 
     coil with have a key lock-out and a "severely wounded but hopefully 
     not dead"-man switch. 
     
     Besides bringing along a grounding rod and extension cord, what 
     preparations should I make for this event.  I plan to operate the coil 
     in his backyard, which has a featureless area at least 16 x 16 ft.
     
     Regarding the grounding of the coil.  Might a counterpoise consisting 
     of pieces of Al foil laid edge to edge be a suitable substitute for a 
     ground?
     
     I plan to ask guests about any health problems prior to starting the 
     coil, especially whether or not any use a pacemaker.  Are there any 
     particular health questions I should ask?  Are there concerns with 
     jewelry?
