I have recommended, subject to the EMC Committee's recommendations, that we chase this. I have a proposal for the EC to deal with it that I will send them later today. This is consistent with our longstanding practice of objecting to STAs and Experimentals granted by FCC if they either aim at an allocation in Amateur Spectrum or propose an incompatible temporary use of amateur spectrum.

Thanks for the analysis, Kermit.

So what we have here is yet another perpetual motion machine and a noise maker on 160m.  Nice. 

This one had me scratching my head for a while with the ubiquitous “How’d they figure that?” question floating around my brain. Tesla was a genius but I don’t think physics will allow this to work at any viable level of efficiency except as how Kermit states in regards to the ease of fleecing investors- IMHO.  As the hillbilly said “You’ns can’t get there from here.”

Hello All -


       As noted on odv last week by John Stratton and Chris Imlay,
the FCC has accepted an STA for a grant to Texzon to operate a surplus
50kw Nautel AM broadcast transmitter on 1710-1900 kHz to demonstrate
the use of "Zenneck" waves to facilitate the possibility of power transmission
world-wide without wires ala Nickolas Tesla. The STA states an ERP of
100 watts of  emission with 10 Hz bandwidth with a proprietary "probe" antenna
that will excite only Zenneck waves with no Norton ground waves.

        The outrageous claims by Texzon should start paying large dividends
now that they have their STA application for their demonstration of Zenneck waves.
Late last year a un-related pair of physicist claimed that they could observe the long-fabled
Zenneck waves in dielectric slabs at 625nm (laser), the electric fields would be
indistinguishable from normal waveguide modes in their laboratory
set-up without significant mathematical dexiterity in the analysis. 
            Despite the conventional understanding of electromagnetic theory
Texzon claims a "new paradigm in physics" to transmit power anywhere
in the world without wires - I think the real power will be to separate
gullible investors from their hard-earned cash... more on that
can be found here;

       In the mean-time it looks as if the STA will operate around and
in 160 meters with essentially CW at 100 w ERP.
