I've been wondering about this: I know you are using alot more power (75W
is it?) but I also realize that there is alot of voltage at the top of my
loading coil although I'm only running 1 watt.
How dangerous is this? How careful should I be that my children don't get
near any connections at the top of the coil?
Sorry to be so ignorant, but this is a serious question.
Thanks,
Eric
