Default Dipole-2 different wire sizes?

Imagine the diameter of one half is infinite.
You now have a quarter wave over a ground plane.A well known case.
Impedance is halved .
Resonnance is only dependant of the remaining wire and unchanged.
Your result should be somewhere between no change and that.
Another similar question :
Instead of burying lots of radials at the base of a vertical
what about digging (or using) a well and having a quarter wave of wire
dropped into it ?


A real well in soil will be the perfect infinite source of electrons.
The well in a dry rock will be most wrong.

The well in the dry rock is used in ULF. But the electrons are pumped from
the wet area.
