I built an SSTC because I enjoy building electronic things, especially high
voltage generators, I like a challenge and I like to experiment.  I've built
a spark gap tesla coil with good success (4 foot steamers) and I was able to
use the secondary and base stand for the SSTC.  I like to make sparks!!

In Canada I remember reading that the low frequency bands (around 200 khz)
are not regulated, I know there are some beacons in the band though, I can
pick them up with a short wave radio?
