KSCO/KOMY operates three towers in a salt water lagoon (Cochran Lagoon) 
in Santa Cruz.

KSCO is Class B 10 kW ND-D/5 kW DA-N; KOMY is Class C 1 kW days, 0.8 kW 
nights, diplexed with KSCO.

I believe copper radials were installed at the time of construction.

The original installation was two towers only; 1 kW-D/0.5 kW-N, DA-N; 
later upgraded to 10 kW-D/0.5 kW-N, DA-N.

The ND-D operation and salt water ground is good to San Jose, and 
requires that Salem's 50 kW-U KFAX, San Francisco, protects KSCO to about 
10 kW.
