It makes no sense to replicate the Colorado Springs experimental World System transmitter because of its imperfections and defects. 

November 5, 1903,

Dear Mr. Morgan:-
The enclosed bears out my statement made to you over a year and a half ago. The old plant has never worked beyond a few hundred miles. Apart of imperfections of the apparatus design there were four defects, each of which was fatal to success. It does not seem probable that the new plant will do much better, for these faults were of a widely different nature and difficult to discover. As to the remedies, I have protected myself in applications filed 1900-1902, still in the office. 

                             Yours faithfully,
                                               N. Tesla
The "old plant" refers to the Colorado Springs Experimental Station. As for the "remedies" protected in applications filed between 1900 and 1902, and "still in the office," the only patented invention meeting these criteria is APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING ELECTRICAL ENERGY, Jan. 18, 1902, U.S. Patent 1,119,732, Dec. 1, 1914. The sensible approach is to create a Wardenclyffe replica modeled after this design.

I wonder about the money side??? Basic wood and wire was what Tesla used. In
his Colorado Springs notes he shows that he was very aware of costs and he
adjusted his calculations to save on materials, especially the large cable
for the primary.

Hi Anthony, all,

That's a nice thought, but would literally require million$
to accomplish in today's economy. Pretty much beyond
the financial reach of most, if not all, of us in absence of
major federal or corporate funding. If any one has the
means and the will to invest into such a project, then by
all means "have at it" and let us know how it comes out. :^)
