Hell, I'm surprised that the people running these spark-gap
transmitters haven't been visited by their local cellular, commercial,
broadcast and Ham operators - en masse, and in the classic "Torches
and Pitchforks" meeting initiation method. ;-)

That thing probably splatters the radio spectrum enough without
deliberately attaching a broadcasting antenna to it. The only saving
grace would be it's a very short pulse - not long enough to get a
normal DF lock.

I'd build and operate the whole coin shrinker rig in a Faraday Cage
to catch most of the RF, with the cage inside an all steel shipping
container ala "Mythbusters" for 'ballistic containment failures'.
