Was the coil tuned to the resonant frequency of the earth?

S-meter calibration varies widely between different
models of radio, but according to this site S5 is
about -97dBm, that is -97dB relative to one milliwatt.
So you received about 200 picowatts of power.

To put that into perspective, if you charged a
lossless capacitor or battery with your 200 picowatts,
after a whole year of charging 24/7 you would have
enough energy to light a LED for one millisecond.

This is why I (and many others) say that wireless
power transmission using Tesla apparatus isn't
efficient enough to be any practical use.
