Quarter wave vertical antenna close to the ocean

 
Recent testing of my new vertical quarter wave antenna on 80m.  The QTH Hlidsnes  Álftanesi is a perfect place to place an antenna.  The antenna is 20m in hight and with 4 to 5 elevated radials about 1m above the ground. The feedpoint impedance varies with the number of radials. The radiation resistance was close to 72 with only one elivated radial and with three elevated radials close to 53 ohms.

Hurricane Celia

 
Perfectly circular, powerful Hurricane Celia spaned hundreds of miles over the Pacific Ocean in this image from June 24, 2010. Rough-textured clouds surround the storm’s distinct eye. Farther from the center of the storm, spiral arms appear thinner and smoother. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Hurricane Celia at 1:55 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 24, 2010. Just five minutes later, the U.S. National Hurricane Center classified Celia as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. Image Credit: NASA
