While salt water is definitely good for verticals, but it doesn't help horizontally polarized antennas like Yagis. For the low bands (160/80) where construction of large Yagis is a mechanical challen

EZNEC shows minor improvement for horizontal polarization over salt water but it's at high angles...not low angles as is the case for vertical polarization. At 14 degrees TOA, there's a 0.51 dB adva

The "Team Vertical" prime movers, K2KW and N6BT, have answered this question. A good rule of thumb is the antennas should be no more than a quarter wavelength from the salt water. More information is
