Default Soil dielectric constand and conductivity for East Texas

Hi Y'all! (said with a strange Australian accent!)

Am doing so NEC work for my QTH and need to get an idea of the ground
conditions here.

I started with the "Rich soil" of DallasLincoln but was advised that it
was more clay and likely to be typical of that in central VA.

Any information helpful.

Cheers Bob W5/VK2YQA
