I'm not sure that this is exactly analagous, but I have a tri-band vertical
mounted right at the edge of a reasonably large lake (~0.5km x 20km). I found
that that dramatically improved its performance compared to mounting it 100m
away. The improvement was at least 10dB which changed it from being a waste of
time to a useful second antenna - and the radial system (lots) was identical in
each case.
