Here in the U.S., the simplest way to get an estimate of regional ground conductivity is from the records of a nearby directional (multi-tower) AM (medium wave) radio station. Their operating paramet
The choice of elevations to make measurements is frequency dependent. Pick a "low" and "high" height that are appropriate to the frequency band being considered. I'm not personally familiar with the

NEC-2 should work down to a very low height (inches). If you want to model the antenna on or under the surface, you'll need NEC-4! Eric is right about frequency dependence -- my own trial was at 40M.
Just a series of thoughts ... In case of horizontally polarized antennas placed at a reasonable height, the ground costants have a neglegible impact on the radiation pattern and efficiency, while the
Hello Mauri -- Your message brings up two points: 1. Using antennas at various heights to measure ground conditions at the installation site will help to more accurately model the impedances of anten
Are these FCC graphs web-available somewhere? I would be intrigued to know what the local geology (karst - limestone holy and cracked like swiss cheese, under soil of varying depth) produces in the w
