"When you say "NOT work", you probably need to specifically list the diminished
performance attribute due to more conductive media underneath."
The issue with horizontal wire and the ground is the fact that the reflected
signal from the ground is 180 degree out of phase, (-1 in the formula)
Not arguing at all with your "why" that goes with diminished performance.
Just pointing out that it's not an on-off switch but a diminishment to a
BOG that can still be useful with amplification and attention to issues
that hound all BOGs.

Some say a BOG is not effective at/over salt water.
For grins I installed a 200’ BOG to Europe. 4:1 Binocular XFMR, #18 single
wire, (92 Ohm Termination= 1.1:1 SWR on RG6 cable) 4’ Ground Rods, No radials.
Works about same as K9AY. Maybe 8DB down in sig strength.
Installed approximately from
