Hi Gerry,
Thanks for this bit of information. I'll give it a shot. I'm
anxious to use my kill a watt on my working coil. I am using a line
filter box that I plug the coil into, but it doesn't help. I'll also
try an external ground as well.

Plug the Kill a watt meter directly into your outlet and run an
extension cord to the coil located further away. This worked for me
for a 1KW coil. I'm not sure if you are using a separate RF ground
but if not you may want to try that (outside) to help keep the RF
off of the mains. Also, dont coil your extension cord as this
allows a larger pickup of RF on the power cord. Lastly, if you still
have problems, you may want to use a line filter. My 1KW coil
didn't have a filter and things worked OK.
