Brad/Terry,

You may have killed the u-wave. Especially if you weren't running line
filtering.

The devices I've lost happened in exactly the same manor (i.e.. operating
without any breakout). When my coils are in tune and emitting arcs (up to
7') there is almost no RF interference on the TV, Radio, etc. If I place a
big toroid on it to prevent breakout (and re-tune of course) then all bets
are off. Lots of noise on everything from the TV to the telephone (killed
answering machine and other stuff this way).

But that's just my experience. Your mileage may vary.

Regards,
Brian B.
