Seawater antenna

Sorry to have to cancel out today. I'm on the mend.

Here's a new approach for hams like us, fortunate to live near seawater.

This is very interesting. I am tempted to try building one. Can anyone think of a design to control the height of water pillar precisely and continually? ?

Of course, I have too many things in my queue to work on, but this one does bump off a few ?things in my mostly imaginary list.

Dave, I hope you are feeling better.?

The key to the seawater antenna seems to be adjusting for the correct SWR (Standing Water Ratio). According to experiments by Simon and Garfunkle, this requires a Bridge Over Standing Waters. I should probably stop while I'm behind.
