My purpose was just as a demo as in lightening on command not to actually make qso's around the world.

I added a radio shack 120/12v 450ma transformer and used doorbell wire (taped to the ext cord that powers everything) to the key and back down to 120v relay (12vac coil). I know its highly illegal to use a spark gap transmitter but just running a spark gap coil normally would be just as illegal right? I know it doesn't get into my tvs or lights or my 2 meter fm radio (antenna shares ground with tesla coil). Have yet to check it out with 160m-10m hf ssb/cw rig. Its not something I plan on doing (morse code) but the keyer works like a dead key.

You'll hear it on HF..
The signal is pretty weak.. A friend went trying to find Brian Basura's
teslathon 10 years ago and lost the directions, so he figured he'd DF on
the RF noise. Not a chance.
Don't go expecting "UR 599, QSO?"
More like a "UR 332, AGN?"
