>  A few weeks ago, I posted an e-mail on how in dozens of side  by side  
comparisons my single 40-m. 1/4 wave vertical near saltwater  worked at  
least as 
well, if not better, than a new Cushcraft XM-240  Shorty-Forty at  90' in all 
directions the vertical looks over  saltwater: Europe, Africa,  and South 
America.  
Computer  modeling indicated that the Shorty Forty  should have about a 10dB  
advantage over the vertical with  saltwater.  
 
    W7RM (SK) who was on the leading edge of big  station building and was on 
a beautiful bluff with a 300 degree  saltwater shot always said anecdotally 
that saltwater was worth 10 dB by  itself.
