US Navy develops Sea-Water antenna

[Mike O'Dell]

now if it would just work on HF...

maybe one of those laminar flow nozzles would keep
the stream continuous for the higher HF bands

any info on the "magnetic probe" they use for coupling to the stream?

seems like it oughta be (essentially) a current transformer - one conductor
through the center and relatively many turns around a toroidal core.

wouldn't you want the driven winding to be series resonant to maximize 
the RF current?
