Some years ago, Jack Belrose, VE2CV suggested that one of the better ways
to approximate ground characteristics at a given frequency would be to
erect a precisely measured low dipole just high enough above ground to
accommodate the limitations of your modeling software, and then tweak the
ground characteristics in the model till the resonant frequency of the real
dipole and that of its model match. This sounds like an approach that
would largely overcome both the inhomogeneity problem and the frequency
problem. Critique?
