Hello Steve, Coilers,

I live about a mile off the end of the most active runway of our
local airport.  They have a non-directional beacon that operates
on 261 kHz. which just happens to be the frequency my Tesla coil
runs on!!  I've experienced no troubles, and I'd be the first to
know, as I'm an avionics technician and know most of the pilots
on a personal basis!
