Is this your interpretation John? Even if this is not how it worked, it seems a very ingenious way to transmit power... indeed both the Earth and the ionosphere are conductors... couldn't one use metallized balloons to connect to the ionospheric part of the circuit, rather than masts? A laser induced ionized air "wire" might work too... Michel
