Hi Dex, et all,

Post Script, If there was a way to find funding as a c201c nonprofit, some
of us are able to donate our time for re-construction of the tower-what a
view! 

Loss of this historic site would be really a financial driven and historic
aberration!

Sad story about the largest Tesla magnifying transmitter in history.
In his authorized biography "My Inventions" Tesla mentioned the 
transmitter could be operated up to 100 MV.I'm afraid voltage like that 
wouldn't be feasible.Numerous measurements and experiments show the 
normal atmosphere breakdown field is aprox. 900 kV/ft.Applying this to a 
perfect 69 feet diameter sphere gives about 31 MV of breakdown 
potential.Clearly,Tesla overestimated the figure.More importantly he
underestimated some other things (like dissipation),and money issues
(J.P.Morgan).If nothing else,I hope good people will manage to save his old
lab building.
