[TowerTalk] vertical in pond

["Dave Johnson" <djohnson@windstream.net>]

More proof that fresh water is more of a insulator than a reflector is found in 
the very fine article "The 3Y0X Peter 1 Island 160 Meter Beam" by K4DLI and 
W6XX in the March 2009 QST on page 37.  I know they are talking about a Yagi 
and not a vertical but that antenna was only a few feet above the fresh water 
ice.  It worked extremely well because it was using the ground under the very 
thick ice as a reflector.  I'm not sure but I think I read that the ice is 
about 70' thick.
