Pole 26 — A New Terminal on the World's Largest Tesla-Type Measurement Instrument

In 1919, Marconi completed five high-frequency power plants around the world — including the one at Bolinas, California, sitting directly on the San Andreas Fault. Driven by Alexanderson alternators and built on principles Tesla had discovered, those stations weren't using the Hertzian wireless that became "radio" as we know it today. They used something different — longitudinal dielectric induction, what Tesla called rays of induction propagating through the earth itself.

The Bolinas station is gone. The antennas are down. The buildings are derelict.

Out in the Nevada desert, Eric Dollard has been building the modern successor for the last twelve years.

The EPD Long Line at the Tonopah field site is an above-ground Beverage pole-pair receiving antenna — 4,800 feet of it — picking up earth signals. It is the world's largest publicly known Tesla-type measurement instrument. The Shack end (lower frequencies, VLF and ULF up to ~20 kHz) has been streaming live online for some time now.

This week, the OTHER end of the antenna came online. Pole 26 is now a working field terminal — dedicated to LF and MF reception up to ~3,000 kHz, including the maritime mobile band near 500 kHz. That's the band where Eric has been hearing earthquake precursors and unusual signals for years — including the precursor to the Ridgecrest earthquake, picked up on a modified AM receiver in his car.

Two separate ground systems were installed — signal ground and electrostatic/lightning ground — using a network of buried ground rods running down the wash. Eric: "Ground ten times over what you would ever expect in desert terrain like this." (There's an underground spring running below the antenna line — same kind of geography Marconi chose for Bolinas.)

We caught the whole build on video — Eric walks through the antenna, the two-band setup, the grounding system, and what's coming next. Full write-up plus embedded video on the blog.

Help Us Raise $5K — Get Eric's Transconductance Amplifier Online

The next EPD Labs work episode will focus on a major infrastructure upgrade: wiring new rack panels for the seismic line, finalizing the layout of the higher-voltage rack system, and installing Eric's amplifier to replace the temporary digital system currently feeding the earth signal stream.

And this is no ordinary vacuum tube amplifier. It's Eric Dollard's full-blown embodiment of the transconductance amplifier — the very design that the future of commercial audio amplification will be based on. This is genuinely the most novel innovation in audio amplification in 100 years, since the first RCA patent. Getting this online at EPD Labs is a milestone not just for the earth signal work, but for the entire field.

This is a significant step forward for EPD Labs and brings the full Tesla-type measurement instrument substantially closer to its final form. Our target window is 1-2 months after the conference — that timing would be ideal.

LifeWave has generously donated $2,500 toward this work. We need to raise approximately $5,000 more on top of that to fully fund the trip and equipment.

If you've ever benefited from Eric's research, the live earth signal streaming, the conference presentations, or any of the work coming out of EPD Labs — this is your chance to be part of what comes next. Every donation counts.

ESTC 2026 — Streaming Tickets Available — June 24-28

The 13th Annual Energy Science & Technology Conference is just weeks away. 5 days. 15+ presenters. 23+ presentations. 11+ live demonstrations you won't see anywhere else. And for the first time ever: a 2-phase AC motor allegedly built by Nikola Tesla himself on public display — linked directly to Patent No. 382,279.

Live streaming gets you every presentation, every demo, every minute — watched from wherever you are.

The in-person seats are sold out. Streaming is the way in.

The updated schedule is posted on the conference page. June 24-28, 2026 — Spokane, Washington. Same weekend as Hoopfest.
