I suspect that Don was referring to the fact that poor ground conductivity affected his low angle performance, and that is absolutely true. There isn't a thing he or anyone else can do to change the far field effects of poor ground. He can add lots of radials, buried or otherwise, to improve feedpoint losses, but none of that has any effect whatsoever on the far field pattern.
