True about the Fresnel zone being 5 wavelengths out or so... But that's =
not
beyond the range of making a possible improvement. It's one side benefit =
of
having a seashore QTH <G>. I get jealous of Chip, KH6AP, every time I =
work
him with his vertical on the beach at Kihei in Hawaii. Puts a powerful
signal outta there!  Gee, I could get used to the sound of the waves and =
the
moonlight on the water in order to get the advantage of that "ground =
plane".

The mounted on roof half wave vertical should be near 98 per cent =
efficient
with no ground loss. The ground loss that affects it will be in the =
Fresnel
zone well beyond, (5
wavelengths) where you can improve it.
