I have a friend that lives close to the ocean. He is planning on
installing a vertical that will have salt water on three (3) sides.
His idea is to place a 4'x6' copper sheet in the water and ground the
antenna to it, instead of using radials. Is the a good idea? What is
the best way to install a vertical near salt water? Do you run
radials and if so, how?
Thanks for your time.
