I am not the person who wrote the "lousy soil does NOT vary the vertical angle".  I'm not sure why my name is included below.

    Are we discussing lousy soil or lossy soil?
 
    NVIS operations depends on something conductive below a low antenna 
 that aims the signal straight up like a two element beam, usually 
 supplied by a second wire a foot above the dirt and grass.
    NVIS is only effective on 160, 80 and sometimes 40 meters.
