So why did a 20db amplifier deliver 23db during certain conditions

Why assume something to be true that violates known physical laws?
I assumed not, I measured. This was what trusted friends had been
occasionally reporting for months. I was only able to confirm what
they occasionally measured after I sold the amplifier.
The scientific assumption should be that it is an anomaly, and
effort should be made to prove IT true rather than use the single
fact to cast doubt on known reality.
There were many measurements by others. I was one of the last
measurers.
Can you seriously believe that the ionosphere is non-linear, to the
extent of 3dB in 20dB?
Not picking on Rich in particular, but it amazes me how many hams lack
the ability to look at their own measurements and to say to
themselves, "Aw, come on, that can't possibly be right..."
I used to work in a calibration lab.
