"This is exactly the altitude Tesla referred to in his patent.
Remember, Tesla was trying to utilize a tropospheric phenomenon, NOT
the 50+ mi high region that decades later was discovered to be the
ionosphere.
Matt D."
He talked about a conducting layer at an altitude low enough to be
reached by a balloon (at least he thought so), but never calculated or
measured the consequences of having his upper electrode at a voltage
which could cause ionization. The key words here are "Tesla was
trying"; remember that he never succeeded, for very sound reasons.
