I believe this view is held by many, including the ARRL, who publish a Handbook every year with many articles devoted to encouraging you to employ an ever-bigger beam. These article are replete with pictures, of course, leading to an even more widespread condition: beam envy. 73, Jerry, M0GOE _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
