Speaking somewhat broadly, Science is basically a quest for understanding of the physical world we live in.  Engineering is the science of intelligent tradeoffs in a quest to create "stuff" using the science and technology.  Many of the tradeoffs are technical.  Others are economic, ergonomic,

As with most everything on a boat, antenna and counterpoise systems are a compromise. You have to work with what you have. I agree that an elevated feedpoint is not the best, but on a fishing trawler support rigging for the outriggers moves up and down. With the antenna mounted on the mast it is ou

Verticals require more attention to ground but the goal should be to increase the antenna current, thus increasing radiated signal. ground into water seems like a waste but has DC grounding value.
