ALright, not I've heard "It can't be done!" I have to try this now :)

Alright, with proper tuneing and an immaculate design it should be possible 
to make a "Clean" coil. I have seen the wonders done with commercial 
transmitters and the work involved in makeing them stay on freq and perfect, 
it's not a simple process :) But it can be done. Shielding and grounding 
should help a deal too.
Also the location would help, it's 5 miles from ANYTHING and on hundreds of 
acres of lonely land. :)

Funding is always a pain for groups like ours, but we have always been able 
to get wheat we needed. Kalamazoo is home to one of the largest capital 
campaigns in history. They raised $20M for a nmuseaum here a few years ago. 
We will be doing massive fundraiseing for the new facility, this will be 
just a part of that. It should be MUCH easier than to just get funding for a 
giant coil.
