	Tend to concur.  Even if not sparking, the typical
	horizontal coil is closer to 'ground': I would expect
	this to 'shunt' via stray capacity, more effectively
	than a vertical formal coil.

	One might speculate on a test involving a small,
	battery operated coil, gimbal mounted, and a
	Weather Balloon...
