Where is the best place to park your mobile for dx?
I also heard that being right on the saltwater is helpful, I even heard a local say he likes to sit on top of a bridge going over the saltwater. How he manages that is beyond me.

One of my locals used to drive down to the Jersey Shore and park his mobile as close to the Atlantic Ocean as possible. When DX conditions were favorable he was able to work stations from Eastern Europe, Africa and Central and South America.
I used to do the same while driving down the road even on 11m. Nothing magical or drastic happens when you drive down to the shore.There may be a slight advantage, especially with lower noise of receive as you tend to be clear of power lines etc., but on average the difference is quite minimal. If one was on a lower band like 40 or 80m then the difference is more dramatic.
It must have given him some advantage because he was not able to work these stations when his mobile was inland.
