yup, though the faraday-cage effect *should* shield it.

You should see the topload we're using on the 6" coil right now. It's a 5'X 
15" torus, on a 6" coil powered by 12/240 and producing multiple 5-7'+ 
streamers without a breakout point. The car topload would be used for our 
15" coil powered by a 10kVA Pig.
