Re: [TCML] my new coil. how is performance?

James, 
I agree with Steve, You should not be letting that arc to the electrical wiring for your house. 
Think about it, you are risking every electronic device in the house to the mercy of how good your ground wire is. 
Along those lines, what if a nice metal water pipe near the wire on its way to ground just so happens to be more favorable a ground then the wire? then it will arc threw the insulation to the pipe and start a fire with the wires insulation. Not an ideal situation. 


When i ran my coil in the basement i put a lower wire across the ceiling that connected to my rf ground, which happened to be a giant metal beam that holds up my ceiling, it also happens to go down through the cement floor and into the ground. 


Great job on the coil though, It looks really nice. 
Got any closeups of inside the cabinet? 



Thanks, 
John "Jay" Howson IV

James, 

Your coil looks great (nice job) however I have some concerns with your 
running it in the basement. We have had members who have caught their 
walls on fire doing exactly what I saw..... Letting the streamers arc to 
the light bulbs and electrical wires in your home WILL lead to disaster. 

Just my 2 cents......
