Grounding



Original poster: "David Boss by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <d.boss-at-Center7-dot-com>

I have a couple of questions regarding grounding my coild.  I've read
conflicting information about what and where to ground.  I understand that
the secondary needs to be grounded to a seperate RF ground, by seperate I
mean seperate from my house ground.  Where should I ground the nst case and
safety gap?  Also, right now, my coil is producing 12" to 18" sparks and
that is consistent weather or not I have the secondary connected to ground.
I can have the secondary ground wire dangling in mid air and still get those
sparks.  Makes me wonder if my ground does anything at all.  I'm going to
pound a new rod into the ground and try that.  Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave
