Still assessing antenna options for the new station.  
One parcel has about 95 feet of ocean front facing south.  Of course  the idea 
of verticals comes to mind.  Here is the issue. .  If the vertical is located 
at the shoreline,  I know any vertical will work like gangbusters in the 
southern direction.  However, will the salt water effect be lessened in the 
opposite direction (north) and by how much?  And, how much would the directions 
to the NE and NW be affected.
My gut feeling is to the north it would not be anywhere as good as it is to the 
south and to the NW and NE is would be a little better than the north but not 
anywhere near as good as to the south.  Am I right?
