Ultra-high Energy cosmic neutrinos will produce a detectable pulse of RF radiation when they interact in solid media. Large rock salt formations, which are highly transparent to RF radiation, may serve as the medium for detectors searching for astrophysical neutrino sources. It is possible to instrument such formations with antennas to produce a detector with tens of cubic kilometers of water-equivalent volume and a large solid angle neutrino acceptance. We review previously reported on the long attenuation length measurements for electric fields in the Hockley salt dome. We consider here several detector geometries and their sensitivities to cosmic neutrino fluxes. We also report on insights yielded by Monte Carlo studies into the scaling laws governing the design of such a detector.
