Re: [TCML] tuning a tesla coil for broadcast?

["resonance" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For broadcasting a signal you want a very low SWR (standing wave ratio). 
For producing large sparks you want a very high SWR which does not broadcast 
very well --- something we try to avoid.

For more details on SWR just drop into your local library and grab a copy of 
"The Radio Amateur's Handbook", especially the older issues which explain 
these concepts in detail.
