I really thought that someone else would have picked up on this, but since I haven't seen it yet, here goes.
One post indicated that moving from 50 to 100 watts was "doesn't matter" but that going from 500 to 1kw, well, "OK." Hey, both are 3db and the relative change in power for either will be identical....same as going from 2 watts to 4 watts (that's more within my domain). Practically speaking, if the bands are good and you're not in a pile-up situation, and your signal is not "just at the noise level," then yes, 3db "wont matter." During a contest, where you're all on the same QRG, as is the case in RY, "louder is better." de Doug KR2Q ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
