Tesla Coil RF interference



Original poster: "Gary Weaver" <gary350-at-earthlink-dot-net> 

I have noticed when I fire up my 10" coil it sets off motion detector
light, security alarm systems, causes TV interference for 5 blocks it all
directions of my house.   The neighbors security lights flash on and off.
I can hear several alarm systems going off all over the neighbor hood.   I
took my portable 4" TC to work and fired it up and the telephone system was
static so loud it was like putting my ear up to the spark gap.  Even the PA
system sounds like the spark gap amplified to 50 watts.  I don't own a cell
phone so I was wondering what effect a TC has on a cell phone?   Does it
have any effect on a cell phone at 20 ft, 50 ft, 100 ft???
