"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) and with
a good ground conductivity the current in the wire and the current in the
ground will deeply cancel each other. That’s why any horizontal wire very near
the ground only receives along the wire and vertical polarized.
