[TowerTalk] One DB

[WA3GIN in Alex. City, VA]

I think your efforts should be rewarded but the test is flawed. 

Try using QRP and an attenuator.  Get a distant station to record the two
transmissions...one with and one without the 1db attenuator in the output.

Someone on the Towertalk reflector recently asked whether an additional 
one db of antenna gain was worth pursuing.  The answer, of course, was 
that it all depends...
