A salt water location will provide you with a very very low take of angle and increased gain, it is the best place for your vertical antenna, it's one of the reasons why I can work Western Australia long path with 500mW, it's why a station in Hawaii said I was the strongest signal coming out of Europe when using just 80W, and why another chap in Eastern Australia received me around 30dB stronger on his upper yagi at 250ft compared to his lower yagi at 60ft, and the main reason I spend most of my DXing on foot or mobile
