It's very patchy: there are areas of huge clay deposits stretching for miles 
and very deep; I've forgotten the geological term for it, but I understand 
it was pushed into place by the last ice age; good for low loss low angle 
radiation I understand.  There are also large areas of sand stone which is 
pretty hopeless for anything radio they tell me.  Looking at the geology 
around Stephen I'd say it wasn't too good, however the sea isn't far away so 
the take off to the States is quite good if the immediate area around the 
antenna could be made efficient.  Isn't the internet wonderful?

I don't know
about Stephen's area of the UK, but I will easily accept his experience that
verticals don't work well there.
