After crossing the Red Sea, the next step was to setup an antenna and
make some contacts on the other side, which would certainly have
qualified as a new country. Not having any wire antennas handy, we
used the next best thing:
"Sea Water Antenna"

The losses and problems with that will keep a tinkerer quite happy for a
lifetime. Reminds me of an old antenna I seen which used a thick quartz
tube and was filled to appropriate heights to tune resonance. Was very
interesting, and a fun toy for the owner, but I am waiting to see it in
mass production.
