Subject: Re: Can anyone diagnose problems with our coil? (fwd)

I've always had a good dedicated RF ground, and still
managed to blow up a computer PSU or two. I used to
run my coil in the garage, and my son's video games
and computer would either lock up or reboot. Good
filters seem to have solved that. I would also set off
my battery powered alarm clock nearly thirty feet
away. I'd also set off my neighbors motion detecting
floodlights. My neighbor was on the same pig as me, so
I don't know whether I was "broadcasting" or simply
feeding her rf directly. I also blew up an expensive
board in my garage door opener. Watch those little
antennas on any garage door openers. Just imaging how
much chaos I would have cause without a good RF
ground?

Be careful tying into water or sewer lines. Be sure
and determine what you have leaving or entering your
house. Many newer houses have plastic water and sewer
lines. My house has a plastic service line, but 100%
copper inside. If I were to hook up my coil to a water
line, what would happen if someone decided to wash
their hands while I was running the coil? Same goes
for your sewer line.
