"When you say "NOT work", you probably need to specifically list the diminished 
performance attribute due to more conductive media underneath."



The issue with horizontal wire and the ground is the fact that the reflected 
signal from the ground is 180 degree out of phase, (-1 in the formula) and with 
a good ground conductivity the current in the wire and the current in the 
ground will deeply cancel each  other. That’s why any horizontal wire very near 
the ground only receives along the wire and vertical polarized.
