Gents,

I have been led to believe that freshwater is not v conductive therefore the 
flood waters should have not much effect, compared to saltwater or ground 
water.  But, having said that, we won 'restricted section' of HF Field Day for 
several years from a site on the bank of the River Wey with our wire antenna 
(160m doublet) stretched across the river, so who knows.  Maybe theory <> 
practice.
