[TowerTalk] Not QUITE a tower

TowerTalk is for discussion of tower and HF antenna construction topics so I 
think that your post is relevant.

That distance should be sufficient for pseudo-Brewster enhancement for at 
least some of HF bands (you didn't say what frequency you intend to 
operate).  You can model it to see the effect.   I've used phased ocean 
front verticals from Grand Cayman Is. and they work well.

Not sure if there is an antenna list, but...

Any idea how close to salt water a vertical dipole array has to be to work
well?  15-20 ft to the side and 5 ft up close enough?
