"I believe the conductivity is probably not that 
good. There appears to be only about 6 inches of soil on top of rock."

Your situation sounds similar to a fellow who tried verticals in
the desert country, AZ I think, or maybe NM.  Anyway, he discovered
that even with a good radial field for his vertical, he got much better
results with a horizontal dipole.

Hope this gives you some ideas.
Good luck and 73
