[TCML] Teslathons??? (Australian)

[David Rieben]

Hi all,

Yes, hobby coilers generally tend to be spread by at least HUNDREDS of miles
(or kilometers for the Europeanly inclined). I suppose in a way this is not 
really
all bad though. If too many people started getting into coiling, there would 
sub-
sequently be more accidents and the federal government would end up stepping
in and regulating most of us out of the hobby ;^( Thanks to the internet and 
the
TCML, coilers from all corners of the globe can now quickly and easily share
coil related info. Indeed, it's mainly because of this list that the Tesla 
coiling state
of the art has made a quantum leap in the past decade or so! BTW, are there 
any
more active coilers in or reasonably near (<100miles) the Memphis, TN area, 
be-
sides myself and Drake Schutt?
