Chris,

I have three comments:
1)  I would pay $$$ to see it work (and I'd donate a little if I weren't a poor
college student :-(  ).

2)  the 13M produces at least 55 foot sparks.  If you create a 1/2 wave coil,
the two towers would need to be 110+' at least to be considered the biggest.
However, I suppose that 40' would cut it for the largest 1/2 wave....

3)  Be certain that you wouldn't be waking up people within 10 miles with the
sound of the lightning!

Good luck....

Mark
