"Many years ago, an old timer (W6SDM) told me that to make a noticable
difference on HF SSB, it took +10db."

While on the subject of DB. Many times when someone adds 10db to the transmit side, in an A/B test, almost no one on the receiver side shows a 10 db 'S' meter increase, many times the receiver readings show a 20 or 25 db increase. Is the major reason due to liberal non-linear metering or are other factors such as antenna, location of both stations, propagation etc, the greater of the factors?
