I do have amplifiers although my highest powered one won't quite make 1500-watts (it will do about 1400-watts) and have had since the mid 1970s.  I also agree that having the best antenna possible fo

Agreed. When K0IR and co went to VP8 (South Orkney) they did it ultra lite style, without amps. From VK6 to there, is among the most difficult paths in the world. That one is one of the last two I ne

Bill, My QTH is riddled with antennas, so I'm hardly going to object to advice to build a few more. :-) There are pieces of a 2-meter Quagi and a tribander VHF/UHF quad out on the workbench right now

The 10 dB assumed that it was replacing an antenna that wasn't high enough to perform well, so some of that gain comes from the tri-bander pattern, and some from the 70 ft height. But that requires
