I believe that fresh water has very poor conductivity. Salt water has very
good conductivity.

Subject: [TowerTalk] ground and conductivity
The recent discussions on conductivity have talked about different soil
types and saltwater. Is there any information available about conductivity
for antennas mounted above "fresh" water (ie lakes)
Is the additional conductivity worth the hassle for installation above a
LARGE body of fresh water?
Trying to figure out if its worth it to use Lake Buchanan, Texas (8 miles
wide, 35 miles long)
