I used our model M-150, a 7.5 kVA coil with an 8 ft long spark, to
light up a 10 inch long neon tube using an identical coil as a
receiver --- at a distance of 4,600 feet.

We started out in the driveway, and I was surprised that at the end
of the driveway it was still igniting.  I loaded it in a truck and
drove down the road east until it extinguished.  Near 3/4 mile range
using coil with identical tuning.
