Hi Guys Here is something you might like it’s a sea water antenna check it out on y tube.
Just think we could use this idea for am and fm transmitters, what do you think?
pretty neat good luck jeff

I always thought that was
I always thought that was cool. It has been discussed up here before.. Also interesting is another alternative form of antenna – which has also been discussed here in the past, but fascinating nontheless.. So I’ll bring it up again.. Tree’s as antennas!
Ermi Roos made the following comment here in response a few years ago:
“The conductive water stream antenna is similar to the tree antenna described on another thread in this Forum. It makes use of a conductive ionic liquid (salt water, rather than tree sap). It will not work as well as a length of wire as long as the liquid stream, because any metal is much more conductive than any ionic solution, and this antenna will therefore be much less efficient than a wire antenna.”

Nothing new its been around a hundred years:
You can check it out in detail at http://www.rexresearch.com/squier/squier.htm I have always meant to experiment with the idea but never have.
