Wikipedia says he was using "pulses" instead of "continuous wave" which we now use. So maybe the question about "frequency" doesn't even apply? idk

Properly it was dampened waves. Pulses go into the antenna, but the antenna is resonant, so waves go out. A bit like hitting a tuning fork. Later on he used RLC resonant circuits for the same effect.
