Earth is pretty lossy most places. An ohmeter measuring the series
circuit that includes earth and my 600 ft Beverage read about 20K
ohms before adding the termination. They're in a dense redwood
forest, which I'm guessing is probably slightly better than average
ground conductivity, and it was at the end of a dry part of a very
wet year (no rain for about four months) when I made the
measurement. I have about 7 ft of a copper clad rod in the ground on
both ends, no radials.
