Re: Terry and Jerry's Tesla Show

Perhaps it has something to do with capacitive coupling to ground and the
material which is underneath the primary(wood, phenolic, acrylic, etc.) has
something to do with it. A fairly poor dielectric material would cause less
"loss" due to capacitive coupling perhaps?
