You are basically building a huge capacitor. You need metal plates the size of the region you want to be affected, though these probably need not be solid. You might be able to do this with a mesh, which could be rolled up, and a frame, which could be assembled

Awesome. That is really helpful. How would the mesh be made?

Sounds like you are trying to invent the microwave oven ...

But I don't see where the cathode and anode come into it...

Search rf drying on google. It is not a microwave oven. The cathode and anode come into play by flipping the water molecules back and forth (because water is polar) and this causes friction of the water molecules and thereby evaporating them. 

I have been learning more and more about radio waves and their effect on water. That being said, I am working on an invention that could totally alter the way I perform my job. Radio waves mixed with a cathode and anode has increasingly been used in drying foods and textile fabrics. However, this RF drying is done on a huge scale. Is it possible to do this on a smaller scale. Maybe a portable rf dryer? It would not be hard to mount a portable rf transmitter but this would have no effect on the water (the drying process) without the cathode and anode. What could I use for a portable cathode and anode?
