"This paper is dedicated in memoriam to Nikola Tesla. Tesla carefully applied astute experimental techniques to the earliest radioastronomy investigations. His genius in building and operating the most sensitive receivers of his day, combined with the good fortune to make observations at a time of minimal solar noise and with no competing transmitting stations probably combined to give outstanding results that demonstrate low-loss ionospheric transit by VLF signals. Modern equipment has sensitivity far superior to that at Tesla’s time."
