Oh, here comes the "guru" again. :-)

Unnecessary debate? We are talking about experiences and RESULTS of 
comparing normal in land "ground" effect vs. salt water beach or 
marshes. We are commenting on the benefit of immediate proximity of salt 
water to antenna performance, especially on low angles.
K3BU and others found out that it is not "feeling," but S-meter readings 
in order of 10 - 20 dB (RX and TX!) in favor of salty beach.
