I'd blame this more on sunspot lows than egos. Egos have always been with us, but we are seeing unprecedented poor solar conditions. Every cycle since 1958 has been weaker than the one before. Even

You canīt compare antenna gain with transmit power. Antenna gain is one part but more important is the different elevation angles a directive antenna or the right antenna can supply. You canīt hear w

My own motivation to use legal limit power is man-made noise on the other end. In the 1980's I worked lots of QRP. First just one watt in DSB, then I improved to 5W in DSB, then 5W in SSB, then 30W.

You say -- The biggest amp in the world won't help your reception. I say -- Yes it can HOW? By asking the OTHER guy to turn on HIS amp. QRP is fun only when it is a choice for both sides of the QSO.

The rise of the man-made noise floor is a real problem, but I do not hold my breath for the Authorities to increase the legal power limit for these reasons. On the contrary, I foresee quite severe po

Sure you can. You have a certain amount of $$$ (or whatever your local currency is) to spend on improving your station. Each dollar can be spent on raising transmit power, raising antenna gain, or ra

Because it feels like "do as I say, not as I do." A person who owns an amp is telling other hams not to buy one. If it's so useless, why does the poster have one himself? If the advice were "put up
