Well
People believe on what they want to believe. The difference from close to the
water and far from the water is zero, nada, don’t bother. 10 FT , 100 FT and
1000 FT is the same. The difference "in" the water is > + 10 db., This is based
on real experience and not a simulation on computer, please search the list
archives for vertical on the water. You will find priceless information about
it.

A practical issue is the change in impedance that can be solved with a remote
antenna tuner.
