Hi reflectees !
I totally agree with Tom`s explanations. Especially his last sentence about the
3 db increase. In many cases i guess a single db more would bring a QSO into
the log . Too often i hear fragments of W6-calls but only the ones with the
extra effort make it into the log. For that simple reason i am strongly
supporting the idea of optimizing all of the station factors that can be
optimized. Because it is those precious long-haul contacts that come as a
reward for diggin` in wires and spending hours with a soldering iron.
Its those skills and the willpower to do it, that separates us from the
ordinary plug-and-play ham and probably lets us act as wayleaders for others to
join into 160.
good DX to everyone de wolf df2py
