[TowerTalk] Not QUITE a tower

[Bob Nielsen]

In addition to Towertalk, I am aware of two antenna lists:

antennaware at contesting.com
antennas at mailman.qth.net

I don't have any quantitative data, but suspect that at such a  
distance you would definitely see a difference from the effects of  
salt water vs. a normal earth ground.  Maybe I am just lucky, but the  
performance of my roof-mounted AV-640 vertical, which is ~200 ft from  
salt water (depending on the tide) greatly exceeds my expectations.
