Pedro is consistently one of the strongest stations on the low bands here in
Germany, he certainly would detect any problem with his 160m antenna and for
sure a 25db loss.

Yes, we need more than just "radiated power" to have a QSO.
Even though, perhaps KP4KE's bazooka does not show 25dB gain, but NP4A can
have a 25dB loss!
Unfortunately it's easier to make a lossy antenna than a good one,
particularly on the low bands were ground losses can be high.
