Phillip -

In your flickr photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pslawinski/3666083302/),

how far away from the surface of the secondary coil is the ground rod?

The lower half of the secondary (that's facing the ground rod) seems to be 
"spiderwebbed" with faint blue surface arcs.

Regards,
Herr Zapp
