Transmit loss concerns yes, receive loss concerns, no problem on HF.
As long as you can hear atmospheric noise in the receiver, gain loss
ahead of the receiver is NOT a problem.
My Beverages are 10 dB below my transmit antennas. If the following
argument were true, I should take them down because of the receive loss.
Not anytime soon!
