Power is king and antenna is queen?  I think the reverse is true, based on my past experiences.

I'm constantly amazed what can be done, if we just try. :)  Thanks for sharing your expereinces on FM, Bill!

As for my statement above...it is within a different context than you may be understanding it.  When running an omnidirectional vertical, there is only so much "gain to gain". :)  As such, it is significantly more advantageous to run higher power and a pre-amp than it is to try to find a 15-dB gain omni. :)
