We haven't talked yet... so welcome.
In my research work there were several mentions of Tesla's interacting on an international basis with prominent scientists, most notably in the late 1800's, just after his most well known and brilliant work had been accomplished.
There were also a lot of international scientific interactions surrounding the events of the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Tesla was prominent in these interactions along with University of Chicago Physicists Robertson and Gale. This was about the same era that Tesla was creating innovations like...radio control.
I'll bet some Germans saw this stuff and maybe even talked with him about it sometime or other, or maybe intermediaries helped out. A very usual thing to happen at international gatherings of any sort.

And after his death portions of his notes went missing....
His view of the dielectric nature of the atmosphere and resonant fields links strongly with what Paul writes upon Brown. Tesla argued strongly for the proposition that there is a universal etheric medium.
Accoring to Prodigal Genius, a book I read a while ago re Tesla, just prior to WW2 he was into field effects as shields against air attack and presented this idea to various governments. His work on radio broadcast of energy and Browns work using what seems to be a "long line" series of dipoles is interesting. Its a hybrid. Could be used as transmitter/receiver or very compact directional radio telescope of some sort and some select band. Perhaps.
In any event, its all a crucial and interesting read and I have no doubt the technology resulting from the insights of Brown et al will roll out when the time is right ie when the world has no option but to use it while accepting the ownership claims of its sponsors. Im surprised China has just signed up to buy Westinghouse reactors in a deal which allows US oversight of the fuel cycle. As example. (Not that that's the technology we are on about here, but who would have thought China would have agreed to such terms? Or indeed the purchase in the first place.)
also, Agnew Bahnson financed ans worked with Brown in North Carolina in 57-62 (Stan Deyo) (yea, yea, I know, but nobody is ever totally right and vice versa) (page 218 Vindicator Scrolls, with photos of Bahnson and Brown on page 221 For Bahnson's work :

Also, Jefimenko and atmospheric electricity as power source

If anyone sat astride the fork in physics between the quantum and relativity views, it was Edward Teller, antihero of many atomic vets. Although there is a fork in the road, I bet there is a point in the leadership chain where a unified view straddling both is held.
To put things in simple perspective the film "Solar Max" is pretty good.
As a newbie here I apologise for this gushing forth but these last chapters have pressed my button, which is why Im confining myself to updating this single post rather than swamp the joint with posts. I dont understand very much at all but I am clear on the sun earth circuit and the trillions of hp it generates. I am sure Hiesenberg's Uncertainty Principle has direct applications in radiological safety, anticipating by many years the identification of the hot particle and the foreseeable but uncertain impact of these. The implication is volumetric monitoring and not surface monitoring is th only way to accurately assess radiation hazards from radionuclides.
That this insight is resisted (the European and US definition of Hot Particles differ - the US acknowledges them as skin dose hazards only) shows the split. Finished. Thanks for putting up with all that. (My earlier reference to the Hiroshima Virtual Museum shows leading Japanese scientists in the 30s worked with Bohr, were well advanced, had experimented with enriching uranium but by 43 had fallen behind. In late 45 the US Occupation Forces destroyed the Japanese cyclotron, confiscated its bomb research material (returning it in 2006).However, bridging the fork in the road, Japanese scientists such as Shimizu espoused Zen as a means of expressing their view of the cosmos. The record also shows that the Japanese possessed detection instruments of great sophistication, capable of full spectrum radioactivity (eg electroscopes (alpha and beta) and GM detectors (gamma and beta (if open windowed). By bomb plus 3 days they had identified the hypocentre. The records of their radio surveys of Hiroshima were confiscated by the Occupation Forces. The issue of particulate fallout vs induced radioactivity is controversial to this day and is of importance to members of the Occupation Forces, both US and Commonwealth. So The nature of reality Paul discusses remains a potent theme for many in a very personal way. What the American forces failed to find in Germany, they found in relative abundance in Japan. So it may be of use to for particularly American people know that had Japan not been so deprived by the advance of the Allied (read mainly US) forces in the Pacific, Japan, had it succeeded, would have not hesitated to use its a bomb against the US. Japan had no idea of the Manhattan Project. Such was the success of Western intelligence as explained by Paul in his book. Townsend would have been kept well out of that loop, though the implications of his work would have been considered at the level of Groves or equivalent. I mean, Seaborg himself wasnt allowed to keep his own notes once he had moved onto other projects.

If this wasnt coming from the NASA site it would qualify for "wacking stories". But if this much is being touted, imagine what isnt. And note, these are decade old releases.
