[TowerTalk] digging radials

Seems to me that the deeper the radials are buried the more the covering 
material might detract from performance in some situations. If the 
covering material were a perfect conductor then radials would be 
redundant.  If the covering material is a perfect insulator the radials 
would not be interfered with at all.

Maybe some of our resident gurus might explain what happens in between 
the above two idealized situations and explain what happens when  the 
covering material is in between an insulator and a conductor.
