Hi All,
I am moving soon to Chicago IL and am anticipating that any coiling work
will be done in the basement rather than on the driveway-- my coil has
outgrown the garage as I discovered after frying some electronics in my
house. My basement has a fairly low ceiling. My question is this-- does
anybody have experience in running their coil in close quarters and what
should I do to protect my house (chicken wire on the ceiling perhaps?)
Any input greatly appreciated.

Hi Robert,
     Good idea, chicken wire (and be sure it is grounded with as short a 
lead as possible). Also make sure that the chicken wire is between the coil 
and house wiring and any metal plumbing. I had a battery-powered calculator 
go funky in the room above a coil, 7 ft above the toroid. And it was only 
a  200W coil.
