Line Filters...

All,

I am preparing for an upcoming demonstration of my 6" system to the local 
amateur radio club.  The demo will likely take place at the building 
housing the local 2 meter repeater and packet radio digipeater.  Naturally 
this brings up the concern of ensuring that the coil is operated far enough 
away so that the e-field is clear of the aforementioned equipment and that 
proper line filters are in place.  As seen on my website, I have run the 
720 watt coil (single 12/60 NST) indoors, about 30 feet away from my lab 
(sporting 7 computers and plenty of test equipment and radios) with no 
equipment failures or computer lockup.  Plus, rarely is TVI noticed on a 
running television elsewhere in the house, and when present is quite 
minimal.  I guess I should try "looking" at the line signal with a scope 
while the coil is running to see what kind of parasitics show up.  In the 
meantime, I think I will invest in a line filter to use during the 
demonstratio! n...if nothing else, to ease the mind of the repeater 
trustees, etc.

I saw this line filter on ebay and was wondering if it would be suitable 
for my 12/60 disruptive TC system.
