a viable question posed... very good...
I would do all I could to reduce that loss... the first time... and upon
discovering the second, do all necessary to reduce that one too. With a
consideration as to the cost involved.
For example.. with my wire antennas.. I have introduced a noticable amount of
loss... as compared to a beam antenna... and a beam antenna at 50 foot... is
noticably worse than a beam at 100 - 200 - 300 foot. However... there is a
consideration with logic applied to correct that what we can.. and do the best
we can with what we can't change....
I can't change locations, add 300 to 400 foot antenna, but I can replace a poor
connector in the shack. It works... what is also fun... is finding new ways to
improve a signal path.. through the atmosphere, and all the way in through the
rx.. into my ear... and reverse the path... all the way to the other ears.
Merry Christmas, to all,
