I think it is high ground conductivity that is often true of soil near the ocean, not the ocean per se.

I know we used one from V47 and it worked great. It was located probably no more than 300 ft from the water. This is the first time I have read or heard of this phenomenon. Have others had issues with beverages near the ocean? _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
