Yo,
    OK, so a salt water take off is good for Tx and Rx.  What about
an archipelago or salt water bay or salty straight where you'd have 20-30
miles of sea water before running into land?  You think that would be almost
as good as open sea water or maybe just a bit better than good terra firma?
  Anecdotes- studies-experiences?  We had salt water near us, surrounded by
a smallish land mass engulfed by the South Indian Ocean at FT5XO and the
verticals seemed to play pretty well.
      73 and I remain,
