  When I was a kid we use to take a piece of #14 gauge insulated wire ad coil it up in a 6" coil leaving about 6 ' of each end sticking out, then we took a nail on one end and a alligator clip on the other end, put the coil over car antenna then clip clip to radio chassis, and the nail into the ground, this would pull in am radio waves in locations you could not get any without it.
  I think the idea is that am radio wave travel mostly through the ground..., just like Tesla was using power from the ground.
  Doesn't lightning go from the ground up first ?

very slow motion lightning strike, awesome footage!

>>When you said this I remembered my Dad did the same thing with a 75 foot insulated wire strung around the rafters of our garage which was attached to a homemade coil wound onto a wooden dowel; from there, to a good earth ground.  He pulled in a Chicago radio station from Southern California that I didn't even hear until he set the homemade coil against the portable radio's ferrite antenna. 
This is a bona fide voltage augmentor as an air core transformer.

>>I was told that's often the prevailing interpretation.  The ground is negatively charged and the ionosphere is positively charged with ions.  That's why lightning rises into the sky (too fast to really see with the eye---something like several thousand miles per second or more.  That's what scientists had determined years ago).
