Of course -- only a fool would argue otherwise! But antennas (and
especially towers) aren't cheap -- I could buy a couple of the latest
Alphas for what I've invested in antennas! And once you've done what you
can with antennas, it's time to prioritize the amp. :)
I've never owned any of the nicer automated amps, but I've operated a
few for a bit, and hear lots from members of our contest club. Among
those club members, there is widespread satisfaction with Alpha and
ACOM, and if I won the lottery, that's where I would go. I don't hear
of anyone coveting Tokyo High Power or SPE, and I've heard bad things
about both.
