And quite often it seems if they can get an AM broadcast tower just above some swampy saltwater, they will. I suspect that this gets better performance out of the radials that surround the vertical element, but I've never gotten around to asking an engineer about it. We have quite a few low-lying marshy areas with towers just inside in the Bay Area. The easiest ones to see are around the Bay Bridge and San Mateo bridge, but there's also a directional set of 3 right next to 101 in San Mateo for KZDG 1550 AM.
