Well I finished the tesla coil tonight.  Something's not right.  If I put
the tap on coil 10 of the primary I get no output.  I then moved it in a
little with no change.  I then moved it out and when I got to turn 14 ~ 15 I
got some output but the safety gap also started firing like crazy.  Man that
safety gap is loud.  Well actually so is the regular spark gap now that the
capacitors are hooked up.  Anyhow the output from the toroid was only about
5" max from the center steel pole in my garage which I used as RF ground.

My NST chassis, center terminal on the safety gap, strike ring, and
secondary ground all went to the RF ground.

What should I do from here?

Thanks
