When I got it correct you ran a long (fence) wire as a monopole
against ground. I believe that a dipole could have a very different
behaviour. With a monopole use the ground as counterweight so the
'return current' has to come via the (lossy) ground, while for a
dipole this is not the case.

No. The 'earth' is not worth using at that site. I ran one wire up the hill and one down with about 100m in each direction and a loading coil in the middle.
