ummmm.
Waveguides do not operate by conduction thru low pressure gas. I guess
they can operate in a vacuum, i suspect that operation at low pressure
(non vacuum) would be a no no, due to conduction losses in transit...

In one of the appendices to the C Springs notebooks is a letter from
Tesla to his attoney/bizniss agent, saying, roughly:
No commercial results from the wrok here...
Perhaps he learnt there that it would not work... (All the expert
opinion, either way, is as nothing to one experiment. Any number of
relavant experts swore the Atlantic Cable was impossible. Ditto
transatlantic Wireless...)
