All-
	Today I (attempted) to construct an RF ground for my tesla coil I
am building. Being the cheapskate that I am, I decided to use some scrap
aluminum conduit that was laying around. I found a piece about 6' long and
drove it  into the ground leaving about 6" sticking out of the ground to
connect to. My question is this: will this poorly built ground be good
enough for my coil? My coil is only about 3.25" and powered a tranny 
that is about 7Kv 30mA. I didn't know weather to connect the bottom turn
of the secondary to the primary like some people do, or try to construct
my own ground. Any comments, criticisms are appreciated.
