Topband: Skywave vs. Earth Conductivity

[Mike Waters]

Here's the thread:
"Modeling the proverbial 'vertical on a beach'"
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Topband/2014-08/msg00048.html

This is another one that showed up in my search:
"Hill vs. Ocean QTH - response summary (long)"
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Topband/1996-11/msg00165.html

The first one is the one that I was thinking of. It's long, but worth the
read, IIRC.
