And that's only on TRANSMIT. Your rx gain is 0 dB. This'd be a big
alligator - all mouth and no ears.

## Nice try Steve.... it does not work that way ! Too many folks these
days have an elevated noise floor. Once you are maxed out for antenna’s on
your property, you don’t have many options left. These days, you can latch
onto internet receiver’s anywhere in the world, so RX problems can sometimes
be alleviated...depending on latency. Nobody gets 12 dbd of gain @ 60 feet
on any band, that’s pie in the sky. You do the best you can, and Eimac does
the rest.
An extra 6-9 db on TX works wonders these days....levels the playing field a
bit.
later.... Jim VE7RF
