Hi,

Be very very careful about hooking long wires to Tesla coils as 
antennas!!  Outlawed since the 30's, spark gap transmitters will set 
off every FCC alarm in the country if you do it just right!!  They 
have automated triangulation and location to about 10 feet from 
wideband fast receivers all over the country.  They are especially 
hyper after 9/11...

Word on the street is that they are kind of board and looking for 
something to do these days =:O  So keep those wide band transmitters 
at real low power and try super hard not to bother anyone...

Normal well grounded coils are very poor transmitters and hardly ever 
get noticed (or if they are noticed, nobody cares...).  But hooking 
up antenna to increase the range a few thousand extra miles is almost 
a sure bet for getting far more notice than you ever wanted!!!  Best 
to stay stealthly {8)

Cheers,

        Terry
