Dear all,
 
I would like once again to thank all of those who had input to my problem with
the interference that my Tesla coil was having on peoples TV's. 
 
I tried Terry Fritz's idea with the ferrites and had some success, then I came
across the posting about the "ground system for outside operation:
counterpoise". I went out side and hammered some thick walled copper heating
pipe into the ground, wired up the Tesla coil and the interference was gone.
cool.
 
I have been running the coil in my room, but now I have set some space aside in
the garage at the bottom of the garden. It does get a little cold in there in
the winter times but what the heck, from now on I will build the coils in my
room and conduct the experiments in the garage.
 
Once again, many thanks... my body has stopped trembling from the lack of
sparks.
 
Cheers all
