[TowerTalk] Soil Conductivity/Cell sites from N0AH

[Dinsterdog@aol.com]

With all this talk lately about cell site leases, and to all those of you 
living on farms/ranches etc.......

I recently asked our local county's Conservation District to give us idea of 
our soils for farming/ranching needs etc....

They came back with a 40 page report on our soils, what crops to plant, what 
livestock numbers we could expect to support etc....

Of interest, was a how detailed their analysis of our soils were.  Now that I 
have them classified, can anyone with experience in selecting commercial 
antenna sites give me an idae of what kind of soil conductivity I can expect, 
from poor to excellent, based upon the following description, and what my 
chances might be to lease portions of our ranch for cell site towers?:

We have three types of soils on the list:

Soil type one:  Treon-Aberone-Treon, thin solum, fine sandys, 6 to 15 percent 
slopes fine sandy loam

Soil Type two:  Altvan Loam, 0-3 percent slopes

Soil Type three: Vetal Sandy Loam, 1 to 3 percent slope

I don't want to take up too much more space...but if you know about this 
subject, please e-mail me your opinion or forward any questions you might 
have if you need further information.  I'm hoping there might be a chart out 
there to cross reference these soil types with conductivity, without having 
to perform actual conductivity tests.
