I have two questions about fresnel zone.
I just purchased 22.5/ac near the ocean near Machiasport, ME. This is in the
Northeast corner of Maine about 30 miles south of Eastport and a Lubec. This is
going to be my personal Remote Contest station! I plan to be contesting from
this new qth starting in 2020 but will be QRV by mid 2019 for testing.
This qth is anywhere between 1-3 miles from the ocean or the bay, it sits on a
high plateau 150’ asl thats slopes in all directions to saltwater (peninsula)
except N/NW. The property has a saltwater river and marsh that runs the
perimeter from south to north favoring the NE direction, the marsh is only
50-100' wide and 1500-2000’ away from the property. The land has a gradual
slope to the marsh.
My questions:
1.) Is the saltwater river bed/marsh wide enough to be an effective field in
the Fresnal Zone?
2.) What is the wavelengths needed to be within the Fresnal zone of a
river/marsh compared to an ocean?
In this photo album (last pic) I have outlined the river saltwater marsh and
property boundry from a google earth shot.

I’m only concerned about 80 and 160m in the Fresnal Zone.
Any input would be welcomed.
Thanks,
