It's very patchy: there are areas of huge clay deposits stretching for miles and very deep; I've forgotten the geological term for it, but I understand it was pushed into place by the last ice age; good for low loss low angle radiation I understand. There are also large areas of sand stone which is pretty hopeless for anything radio they tell me. Looking at the geology around Stephen I'd say it wasn't too good, however the sea isn't far away so the take off to the States is quite good if the immediate area around the antenna could be made efficient. Isn't the internet wonderful?
David G3UNA I don't know about Stephen's area of the UK, but I will easily accept his experience that verticals don't work well there.
