<<snip of Nick's post and entirely valid comments>>
All who contemplate huge coils.. Nick has a included a nice list of some of
the myriad factors you'll need to consider.  Christopher, even if you never
build the coil, you'll have accumulated some useful research material on
the non-electrical aspects of building one. Make sure you publish it, if
you can, because just as you can benefit from Bill Wysock's writeup of the
13M testing, (not to mention everyone's benefit from Colo Spgs notes,
etc.), those who follow (doesn't that sound ominous<grin>) can benefit from
your hard work, too..

One might want to see some first hand evidence of Golka's coil and the
power levels before you work to beat it.. Of course, I think that 1 MVA has
a nice ring to it, and makes Golka's coil moot...
Let's see... at $0.10/kWh.. 1 MVA = $100/hr running cost..not too bad..

HAARP is a giant phased array in Alasak, last I checked, and isn't a single
transmitter or antenna, even though the power is quite high.  Most all of
HAARP is unclassified, except the details of how they intend to ELF
modulate the ionization and whether it propagates subsurface.

Lots of transmitters, lots of redundancy, lots of survivability....Takes a
nuclear hit and keeps on ticking..
