NEC-LIST: Ground Constants

Panayiotis P. Lemos,

This was posted to the list a couple of years ago. I find it very helpful and
I hope others won't mind me reposting it.

      I have received a few suggestions to add the data from the TAI Inc
Consuletter International, Vol. 6, No. 5, Earth Constants by Peter N
This was posted a couple of years ago for ground constants. I'll assume

Saveskie to the list of groundconstants. So here is the TAI list with
due acknowledgement:

Hi there
does anybody knows where am I supposed to find a table with conductivities of
real materials?
Thanks
