Although it has scientific merits, I would argue that this is one of the many

As far as I can understand, wires / radials just under the surface of the
ground are simply conductors embedded in a lossy dielectric (with an interface
to air near it), similar to carbon filled plastic or other such material. If
the loss and the dielectric constant is low, the

I have tested RBN / skimmer raw data and Excel with preprocessing with CSVed to
confirm station performance after many major CW contests I have been in.
In order to see how a station covers a certain target area, I typically take
one hour timeslots, one country or in the case us US, one
