Whenever I fire up the coil, my parents come out screaming and wailing
because the phones, tvs (cable, not antenna), radios, and intercom (which
is wired, not radio-based) are fuzzing about noisily.

I've only got 2 little chokes from radio shack on it -- what do the tesla
gurus recommend for protecting my 60hz line from feedback (is that what
it's called?)

Is there any other way besides a faraday cage to make my coil screw up
radios a bit less? I'm quite far away from my house, so the neighbors can't
be any happer than by parents.

Thanks in advance
