If I had to guess we're talking 470MHz or 850MHz either of which are
very unlikely to be affected by a TC at any significant distance (100').
Just as a test I tuned my HT to 440MHZ and set it just 12' from my
DRSSTC arcing 7'. There was no noise, or at least not enough to break
squelch with it set at its lowest level on my VX-5R. After being a ham
for 11 years and building coils for 13 I serious doubt this guys TC had
anything to do with a police radio outage. Don't get me wrong; TCs
(especially spark gap coils) can produce noise in the VHF and UHF
regions. I just don't think they can do it with enough power to cause
any harm.

hi all
isnt it possible the report is correct ??   cheap radios suffer
serious bleedover from other radio sources !! im not ham i was
citizen band ! surely police radio isnt very high quality mor just
summat that works !! crap!! so does anybody know the frequencys were
talking about !!maybe just a bit possible if near headquarters!! and
i wouldnt worry about bad press that much !! most people dont even
know what a tesla coil is and if they do mostly they keep away "not
interested"way too dangerous man !!  what you think they may
legislate against the hobby? not in america mate !! maybe here in the
uk !! but your hobby/profession  naaa your ok !! the land of the free
an all that and by the way teaching these days is not usually done by
people with  boomers traits "the boy that never grew up " but yeah he
sounds like a good teacher thats what its about isnt it keeping them
interested and informed what better way than bloweing stuff up and
being done by the fuzz for pumping home made megavolts over the
airways ....... lmfao....brill
