Hi David, All,

        Since 25 kilometers is < 17 miles, at night (let's keep the units 
straight), in a mountainous area, with little other background noise, it 
seems very reasonable that echoes would be heard at that distance.
        Has anyone tried a simulation of the CS coils or Wardenclyffe 
facility to see what V(out) numbers are feasible?
