[UK-CONTEST] Vertical over salt water

[Ken Chandler]

Hi all

I need some advice please from  DX'ers / contesters who use, or have used
Verticals over salt water.

I have never used a vertical by salt water but I've found quite by accident
when out camping in our MH, a really nice location where the high water
depth is just over knee high with mud, sand, stony bottom, it would seem an
ideal  location for my SteppIR 80 - 10m  vertical.

My intension was to lay out pegged down radials but how many radials would
be required as salt water won't be covered 24/7.

The vertical can be erected about 100ft from the waters edge if need-be, and
used  on 10 15 20 40 80m bands.

 

Any advice would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks
