Rick,

I have run full legal without any problem with the coil. I will caution you to 
have a clean whip above the coil in that you can easily generate a corona 
discharge if the end has sharp edges.

Hi all,

I'm
considering trying a Minooka.... long 1" PVC loading coil at the top of
a 30' vertical wound with #18 wire and 6-10 foot whip, much like a
giant mobile antenna.

Does anyone know how much power you can pump into one of these before the smoke 
leaks out?
