Yep, but I'm talking about a miles-tall vertical "searchlight beam" which
acts as the main antenna.

Still, I'm glad to know that x-ray tubes can rectify TC output.  After
all, if the ionization decayed too slowly, then the conductive path would
stay open between pulses.  If this happened then x-ray tubes could not be
used to change 40KHz tesla coil output into 7.8Hz, and in that case we'd
have no idea how Tesla could have broadcast high power at few-Hz VLF.
