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.

Panorama of the East Coast

 
This Jan. 29 panorama of much of the East Coast, photographed by one of the Expedition 30 crew members aboard the International Space Station, provides a look generally northeastward: Philadelphia-New York City-Boston corridor (bottom-center); western Lake Ontario shoreline with Toronto (left edge); Montreal (near center). An optical illusion in the photo makes the atmospheric limb and light activity from Aurora Borealis appear "intertwined." Image Credit: NASA
