€  MF/HF current penetrates only a few inches into garden-variety soil, 
so conductors buried deeper than that are about as beneficial as teats on 
a boar hog.  Soft copper tubing buried horizontally just under the 
surface seems to present a low R at MF/HF.  However, with a beverage, the 
RF-resistance of the ground (at the termination-end) simply becomes part 
of the terminating resistance, so ground R matters not a lot.   The 
feed-end is another matter.
