Topband: Need help to improve DX on 1/2 acre lot from CA(kr6c at juno.com)

[Raoul Coetzee]

Hi Vic,
You have a very valid point.
I was more thinking of the situation where the station calling cannot hear well. (as in my own case, where ZS is still wanted by a few on Topband)
Greetings,
Raoul, ZS1REC

This is only partially true.
If a DXpedition is carefully planned, like, say, VP6DX and I'm sure upcoming Clipperton will be, it will be heard by thousands and one needs everything he/she has +1 dB to break through the pile-up of hundreds Europeans calling. 
4SQ-ers/10K go first, then the real battle starts and that's the time when every TX dB counts. 
Anyway, we all are prisoners of the skip, which was awful lately.
