[Amps] new amp race

[Peter Voelpel]

You can´t compare antenna gain with transmit power.
Antenna gain is one part but more important is the different elevation
angles a directive antenna or the right antenna can supply.
You can´t hear with power anyway.
And that applies to any band.

##   The 1.5 kw amp is exactly  11.76 db louder than 100 watts.   And thats
a real 11.76 db, not
icom db.    The 1.5 kw amp will  work on TX on all  NINE amateur bands....
something the long boom,
megabuck 20m yagi wont do.  You cant work em if you cant hear em.   Well
you cant work em if they
cant hear you !     If station A cant hear station B, and vice versa.....and
both are running 100 watts, the 
quick fix is to install a  6 to 11.76 db gain amp at both ends of the
circuit.   Thats cheaper vs  installing
a bigger ant.
