John -- pure water is an insulator. Fresh water is usually not great. Salt
water is what works well.

Subject: [TowerTalk] ground,good or bad ?
I am wondering about nr of radials to run.I understand that over water you
sometimes hurt things by adding radials over water…
At our new qth (3 yrs) I am finallyn putting up the vertical phased antennas
for 80 meters.We live in an area that has clay down abt a foor to 6 inchs
below.Our water from ¼ in rain stays around for days.then the ground is
moist for abt a week.We dug a trash burn pit abt 6 mos ago.Abt 6 ft deep by
10 ft…It is full of water..Our last rain was 4 sdays ago…it’s not draining
well due to the clay.Is this considered a good ground? Are radials a good
idea ?thanks,john w5jmw
