Yacht Rf ground and radials

How much below is immaterial. Is sea water equal to copper wire radials as a RF ground system? Skip the pursuit of the Holy Grail in radials, this may lead you to start carrying buckets of dirt which screws up buoyancy. Why do i have to use copper foil when most other people suggest using ordinary copper wire? Probably more surface area. All ideas and comments appreciated. How good (or poor) sea water is for matching and loss, is seeing the glass 3/4's empty. How good sea water is for propagation is seeing the pitcher nearby and filling your glass several times. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
