Re: [Amps] 10 DB increase

["Radioal" <al.dolgosh@hamradio.org>]

The original subject was "why does a 10 dB increase in power seem to be 
greater when measured by a receiver S-meter".

An answer was given indicating that propagation conditions, antennas, etc 
all have an effect on this measurement.  This is *exactly* not the case!

I was only disagreeing with THAT premise - not wanting to prompt a 
philosophical discussion or continue some wrong thinking.  That's *exactly* 
where this was heading.
