On 160M the " skin depth" of ground goes beyond the grass ...so it depends on more than just your yard but also the type of soil underneath, how often it is watered , fertilized etc etc. What are you

To some extent the term "ground conductivity" is misleading. It gives us false hope. If we thought of it as ground "resistance" we would gain a better appreciation of what it does to RF currents. In
