It seems that in the brief "jewel of a quote" cited, once again, selective  
editing was used to mislead the faithful.

"Six people quoting the same unconfirmed source is not corroboration"'

     Just random musings which prove nothing.  As himself Tesla says, "(This formula is VERY  problematical)".  It's worse than that, its dimensions don't add up.  Also, Tesla uses ergs as a unit of power, not energy.  Although ithe wording is sort of gogglydegook, the "disturbed charge of ground and air method" would apply to a system using a grounded antenna. His primary "power" is given as 4 x 1010 ergs or about 4 kilowatt seconds.  With that amount of energy radiated very inefficiently ground wave communication to hundreds of miles would be possible at a frequency of say 200 kHz.
