This is what Eric said in his original post:
For the diagram shown the coil dimensions are missing, number of turns, etc. A good ground is essential for these kinds of devices. 16 Ground rods in a 10 to 20 foot radius circle, connected to a single ground rod at the center(17th rod), this connection being 10 gauge wire. Dry sand or rock will not ground, so this requires 80, each 14 gauge wires in a 30 foot diameter circle in a star radial configuration, to a center terminal. Without these groundings a Tesla Transformer cannot properly operate, but some "HI-Z" sets may.
The objective here is to scale the "Crystal Set", a step at a time, into a Tesla Transformer for the reception of medium wave band, 300 - 3000 kilocycle A.M. broadcasts. No license is required for this and the broadcast station provides the power.
And this objective cooperates with the primary objective. That is; Who will be the first ham to disprove Einstein's theory? An International contest, but who will sponsor it, Iran maybe?
We have the good fortune in the "Crystal Set Initiative" that, in theory at least, a quarter wave A.M. broadcast tower, and its 120 quarter wave ground radials, must emit a pair of waves as shown by Tesla in his basic diagrams.

Hence it can be seen that a pair of waves are engendered by this transmission system. (Tower and Star Radials). One wave, Hertzian, is the over ground wave, the other wave, Telluric, is the under ground wave. These two waves arrive at the point of reception in their own distinct time frames, giving rise to a difference in phase. Hence, multiple rings of interference patterns are produced. Since the Hertzian portion, over ground, time frame is based upon the velocity of light, then the Telluric portion, under ground, time frame gives the Telluric velocity. Two crystal sets, one over ground, one under ground, and a basic oscilloscope , that simple. I have done this at Landers.
Concluding, a Tesla Magnification Transformer, properly proportioned can, in theory, actually draw power from a local 50 kW station. Several hundred watts of power reception is likely. This would prove Tesla once and for all. No antenna, just a good ground, and a nice and bright 100 watt light bulb.
This would overturn physics more than any billion dollar C.E.R.N. project. A ham radio operator overturns Einstein for 100 bucks. What a concept.

Also taking a basic Marconi arrangement, apparently the thing is grounded in the same way that the extra coil frequency test is done.
So apparently it's not "stray" as such.
Yeah the grounding is not cheap, I calculate it to be about £300 if I use copper pipes of 3 metre lengths and 22mm diameter. The bigger the surface area the better so I'd rather use pipes than thin ground rods. But for economic purposes I've been thinking about iron instead, haven't looked into pricing yet, a quick search on ebay didn't bring up any results so obviously getting hold of iron isn't as easy as copper, so we'll see how that goes. I have the complaint of how a lawnmower is going to tackle my arrangement too so I intend to dig channels for all the connecting parts so the whole thing is invisible. [edit] And maybe plant flowers on top in case the invisibility is too effective to find them again!
I hear that a hammer action drill is effective at inserting things into the ground, used like a pneumatic hammer.

Tuning was originally done like a normal radio, by adjusting the capacitance of the primary, secondary or both, but later with an oscillator and to bring both receivers into phase before proceeding with the tests. But that's not an optimised setup at all, it's "tuned" to the station frequency but whether the tuning balance between the secondary and primary is optimised is another matter. They were both just adjusted to work, nothing fancy.
