Alex I have heard and worked V47KP many times on 160.
In my opinion your TX signal is superb as is and is already
one of the best from the Caribbean. I would not waste my time
trying to improve it. However, you definitely have problems
hearing! If I were you I would focus my efforts on better
RX antennas which should yield *many more* contacts than a
few more dB in transmitted signal strength.
