It is well known that salt water is the best of all RF grounds for verticals.
Does anyone have any experience in trying to use a vertical mounted on a dock
in a fresh water lake. I live 200 feet out on a point in a very large lake and
200 feet of coax would get me to the end of the 40 foot dock. Part of the dock
is covered with a metal roof which might cause some problems but would a 1/4
wave vertical for 75 meters with several wires into the water provide an
effective RF ground field? Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this
subject. . van
