In addition to Towertalk, I am aware of two antenna lists:
antennaware@contesting.com
antennas@mailman.qth.net
I don't have any quantitative data, but suspect that at such a
distance you would definitely see a difference from the effects of
salt water vs. a normal earth ground. Maybe I am just lucky, but the
performance of my roof-mounted AV-640 vertical, which is ~200 ft from
salt water (depending on the tide) greatly exceeds my expectations.
