Hey I'm a Ham too!! K3MNN living in So Cal!! (originally from Pittsburgh PA)

Look me up in Newton I'll relate some interesting Tesla Tests I've performed.

The relevant one for you.. 2" wide Copper ribbon shorting an 18" florescent lamp still lights..

Induction proliferated around a spark gap tesla!! it is the impulse that does the damage.

even short wide copper / silver ribbon represents high impedance, allowing development of voltages high enough to arc in the most unsuspecting places..

The field can encompass a very large area.. and long arc hits set up their won LCR resonances in odd places.

Faraday shields can be effective

.. all bets are off on anything with an antenna protruding!!

even Satellite launches have succumbed... to this force..
