actually, that will affect the radiated signal,.....
it also may destroy your tower and any grass in the area.

lol, not as bad as the numbnut on youtube erecting a beam and tower in a swimming pool full of salt water,pmsl. i suppose on the bright side he could fill it full of bass and use his old A99 to hook them.
That's funny. Not long ago, an old timer here local was telling me about that, but I can't remember who or what now. Something about digging a hole and using salt and a copper coil or something like that. He claimed it worked great :w00t:
There was a local cber who lived up a dis a way 25 or so years ago, he worked in construction as a cement mason his company truck was a 16' stake body truck with a water tank on it, he had his radio and amp hooked in the truck, and was a avid skip talker so took a pretty decent size chain bolted it to chassis and he threw it in the tank along with a block of salt from a horse farm. From that point on every dx contact he made a myth was born how this salt water ground was the result of the contact.

had a local telling us he was gonna make a set of circular beams using salt water in tubes .
he was either having too much fun with us or had access to far better stuff than i can get .

Is that where that started? I remember some of the superbowl talkers around here filling their trunks with buckets of water/rock salt and claiming it would give them an extra 250+ watts of power. What really made me laugh was when they sat a bucket full of the mixture next to the base of their antenna and ran a wire from the bucket to the mast. I understand the concept of improving soil conductivity by seeding the ground with rock salt, but they had their DC ground going to the bucket.

you're doing it wrong.
Sigh... you are supposed to put two 8 ft lengths of PVC capped on both ends with a mixture of salt and water UNDER the suburban. one on each side so your watts don't come off lopsided. Everything must be balanced.
A friend knows a friend who has an amp in his truck that is sooooo powerful that if he turns it on high, all the radios in a 5 mile radius burn up. hahahaha LOL!

i thot sea salt came from the ocean
Its sea water until (processed) by distillation so it is produced by Mortons, typical misconception.
