As I recall from being on the DX Advisory Committee at that time, we were
told it didn't count. I don't remember who told us, but my best guess would
be K5FUV, Bill Kennemer, who ran the DX program at that time. Huge photos
were circulated showing the legs of the scaffolds were in the water and not
above the high water mark or mean high water mark. If those legs were in
the water, according to the rules if effect at the time, it should not
count.
Now it seems as if it is being pawned off with the remark nobody requested
it count. I question the validity of that statement.

This raises a good point which I have been afraid to ask.
Does the use of antennas mounted on a pier over water
or kite supported wires with a metal 'contact' in salt water
invalidate QSO's made with such antennas ?
When with the nit-picking ever end?
