No, that's what bare copper looks like after 10 years in a saltwater swamp!

The counterpoise is on all three towers, out to 25'. From the perimeter wire, 
the radials drop to the ground and continue out from there for 1/4 
wavelength. At the south tower, the tides rise and fall by several feet. At the north 
tower, typically only a few inches to a foot.
