but I've had so many 160
QSOs that were just on the margin, I can't help but think
that 1dB shouldn't be neglected.

Right, and on both ends.... Last night for example - every time I called CQ
DX on the EU array I would get a reply that sounded like a swarm of bees about
1dB below the level of copyability - just a letter here and there... If those
fellas would put a bit of effort into their transmit antennas there would be
lots more qso's available to them... In contrast, G3FPQ, John, was coming
through like a freight train... Maybe one of these nights he will stop for a
real qso and tell what his antenna setup is
