It is my experience that a grounded Tesla coil receiver will pick up the 
emissions of a conventional LF radio transmitter (such as WWV, Ft. Collins, 
Colorado) operating on the same frequency to which the Tesla coil receiver 
is tuned.

It also appears that a conventional ungrounded or 'non-counterpoise' antenna 
such as a tuned dipole or tuned loop in free space is receptive primarily to 
conventional radio waves and not so much to the other form of 
electromagnetic field energy believed to be associated with operating Tesla 
coil wireless transmission-reception systems.
