Hi Bill, How about the Cohansey River and Hancock Harbor Marina for more South Jersey? It's off Delaware Bay and is one of those places you'd usually pass by, but you've got 20+ feet all the way in,

Hi Alexandre, I can confirm that an extension on the ammeter (torrid) wires will not be an issue. Do use a twisted pair of wires to minimize RF noise being broadcast (something already twisted or you
