might be practicable. The lowest frequency would appear to be six per second, in whichcase there will be but one node, at or near the ground-plate, and paradoxical as it mayseem, the EFFECT WILL INCREASE WITH THE DISTANCE."

From: “Nikola Tesla On His Work With Alternating Currents and Their Applicationto Wireless Telegraphy, Telephony and Transmission of Power”, an extendedinterview, Leland Anderson, editor.; Published 2002 by Twenty-First CenturyBooks:". . . the apparatus which I devised was an apparatus enabling one to producetremendous differences of potential and currents in an antenna circuit. Theserequirements must be fulfilled, whether you transmit by currents of conduction, or whether you transmit by electromagnetic waves. You want high potential currents, youwant a great amount of vibratory energy; but you can graduate this vibratory energy. Byproper design and choice of wave lengths, YOU CAN ARRANGE IT SO THAT YOUGET, FOR INSTANCE, 5 PERCENT IN THESE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES AND95 PERCENT IN THE CURRENT THAT GOES THROUGH THE EARTH. THAT ISWHAT I AM DOING. Or, you can get, as these radio men, 95 percent in the energy of electromagnetic waves and only 5 percent in the energy of the current. The apparatusis suitable for one or the other method. I AM NOT PRODUCING RADIATION IN MYSYSTEM; I AM SUPPRESSING ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES. But, on the other hand, my apparatus can be used effectively with electromagnetic waves. Theapparatus has nothing to do with this new method except that it is the only means topractice it. So that IN MY SYSTEM, YOU SHOULD FREE YOURSELF OF THE IDEATHAT THERE IS RADIATION, THAT ENERGY IS RADIATED. IT IS NOT RADIATED;IT IS CONSERVED."There is some evidence that Wardenclyffe might have used extremely lowfrequency signals combined with a higher frequency signals. In practice, the transmitter electrically influences both the earth and the space above it. He made a point of describing the process as being essentially the same as passing electricity through awire by conduction.

. In various writings, Tesla explained that the Earth itself would behave as aresonant LC circuit that could be electrically excited at predescribed frequencies.However, Earth resonance would be of a very low frequency (about 7 Hz) which wouldutilize Schumann resonance. Alternatively, a surface or ground wave, similar to theZenneck wave could have been utilized. Others believe that earth currents were to beutilized. According to Tesla, the planet's large cross-sectional area provides a lowresistance path for the flow of earth currents. The greatest losses are apt to occur at thepoints where the transmitting and receiving stations are connected with the ground. Thisis why Tesla stated:
