Once again special event K5E will be on Treasure Island May 5 and 6.
Lake Texoma is slightly salty... we place a vertical antenna in the lake,
supported by ropes and cinderblocks.
The result - a perfect ground plane.
Yes, the antenna gets washed off after use.
Look for us!

I would like to claim that the photo shows my 160 meter installation
but in reality, this is the directional tower array for AM Radio KGO
in the back waters of San Francisco Bay. I love the idea of using salt
water in lieu of hundreds of ground radials.
The maintenance of these towers in the salt air environment must be a nightmare.
