Bought three acres in the country here in central Ohio, where the general ground conductivity articles feel we have good midwestern loam soil. Well, MY soil is more like semi clay but it is agricultural land. Corn and soy farming in particular.
I frequently see descriptions like the above that seem to be saying that the suitability of soil for agricultural use is somehow an indicator of its RF conductivity. This is not reliable. For example, Yolo county California shows a conductivity of 30 on the FCC map. The soil is pure clay that goes down 40 feet. Except for growing rice, this soil is fairly useless agriculturally, rated class 4 (the lowest possible rating for farming). Even weeds don't grow well. Of course, YMMV. 73 Rick N6RK _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
