greetings:

I don't believe that soil conditions would come into play with this antenna being fed as a dipole...(a dipole has it's ground). However soil conditions would definitely come into play on the vertical which has a missing dipole and needs good ground to replace it, hence soil conditions would affect that set up. This is not to say that a dipole and your radio equipment should not be proteceted from lightning.
