Oooooo!   good point.

That might be the needle that bursts the whole balloon.  I don't know the
origin of all the electrical noise that's measured *between* the
resonances.  A big enough local source could drown out the worldwide
lightning signals.  But if lightning is like Wardenclyffe, then the big
local noise source would also be like Wardenclyffe, and we should be able
to build receivers to gather pulses of existing energy flux.  Run a big
coil with x-ray tubes shooting upwards?  See if it *receives* 7Hz power?
(Or just use a weather balloon lifting some #40 wire?)

Especially measure lightning EM fields right at the location of the
strikes, so the waves concentrate themselves again as they comes back from
the other side of the globe.  If Q is that high, there should always be an
enormous 7Hz "clannnng" in the local e-field near the lightning.

Hmmmm.

I assumed that it would be tens of thousands of times heavier than any
current tesla coil, which forbids anyone from building such a thing, and
strongly implies that Tesla's Wardenclyffe and CS coils must have used
another method.
