I agree about the pie. I have done a bit of reading. Their
experimental station will use a 50kW broadcast xmtr to (they say)
generate a Zenneck surface vertical EM wave with little radiation loss
into the sky by using a special "probe". Zenneck waves are real and
have been demonstrated in a lab at a much higher frequency. They fall
off as the square root of distance. They well be doing field strength
vs distance measurements in Texas. The only problem is that it takes an
infinitely long straight array of vertical antennas (ie a lot) to
generate a pure Zenneck wave. 50 to 1 kW is another issue, not to
mention ground loss..........................

## IMO, this is pie in the sky. Pure psuedo junk science at its finest.
Tesla tried sending vast amounts of energy via wireless, didnt work out too
well.
S meters are calibrated in microvolts, not megawatts.
## well, you could buy shares in the company, let them peak with all the
hype, then dump
all of em real quick. The entire scheme is about 3 steps below fractal ants.
