Realy he had mesure earth resistance plus enviroment loss resistance.
Also leak in isolators also yelds a loss.

I think this is why people are confused. I believe that Dick measured
"system loss", which includes all losses except inductor loss. Calling it
"earth resistance" simplifies the situation too much. Plainly a wet
environment will increase leakages.

Has anyone measured earth resistance alone under different conditions? If I
recall correctly, this can be done with three earth stakes and Kirchoff's
laws.
