A method is presented for computing the field of a vertical electric dipole over a homogeneous conducting half space coated with an anisotropic conducting slab. The asymptotic form of the solution indicates that the field varies essentially as an inverse square of the horizontal range. The results have application to HF radio propagation over smooth terrain with dense vegetation.
