Salt water, salt marshes, alkaline soil, soil with a high water-table should be good.

But what is GOOD Ground for RF?

I've always presumed that the reason I do so well for DX with a horizontal
160m Dipole is because the Ground conductivity is POOR . . . so my Dipole is
effectively a lot higher.

Plus I have always wondered how deep below the surface the ground matters,
when it comes to RF. (and especially on Top band, where the wavelength is so
long)

For these reasons I've always been very sceptical about Computer Modelling
of a low Dipole on 160m.
