Which of the following determines ground losses for a ground-mounted vertical antenna operating on HF?

Բացատրություն

Return currents from a ground-mounted vertical flow through the soil near the antenna, and the power lost there depends on how well that soil conducts. Highly conductive ground such as damp, salty soil dissipates far less than dry sand or rock; SWR, distance, and take-off angle do not set the loss.
