As luck would have it, I have the perfect 160M location for you. It's not a
salt water marsh, but it is pretty nice. It is an abandoned AM transmitter
site. I am trying to go in on it with a friend of mine to use the tower
myself on 160M and 80M. The tower was formerly on 660 KHz. There are radials
(120 I believe) already installed. The tower is of course insulated.
My friend is going to put a Yagi on top of the tower. It will be insulated
from the tower. Power for us would be free, and so would internet access. I
want to use the tower for 160M and 80M AM. You could use it for whatever you
like. We could also install a really nice delta loop on the guy wires. I
think an internet remote base for this location would be outstanding on 160
and 80 Meters.
If you or anybody else is interested in going in on this ultimate 160M
antenna, let me know. My friend is meeting with the owner tomorrow. Email me
off line via my QRZ address.

Subject: [sarcmembers] Re: Satellite ARC meeting this Saturday
Very interesting on the KSM station. Coincidentally, just few days ago I
discovered their web page a at http://www.radiomarine.org/.
I have a question regarding the club location.
I was going to ask this at the last meeting, but my Son was getting very
impatient and we ended up leaving early.
I am looking for a new location for participating in the CQWWCW and the
ARRL160 contest. I am thinking about setting up two 90' high phased
verticals spaced 1/2 Wl. and a receiving 4 square located around 1000' away
from any TX antenna.
Is there a possibility to set up any antennas for these two contests at the
club location? Is there a possibility to set up anything outside the fenced
area?
Please note that there are ground radials involved.
Anyone knows of an accessible location in a salt water marsh with no man
made noise nearby?
