Any idea how high I need to be to pick up the net from Lake Livingston? I am

 intent that this demo will remove some the HF fog for new operators.   
 
 Everyone is welcome to come by and join me from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm this 
 Thursday 23 at Kitty Hollow Park in Missouri City.  The park entrance is 
 about . 3 miles to the east of the Sienna Parkway intersection.   
 
 If can't make it there,  but like to check in,  listen for the Kitty Hollow 
 net at 14.215 +- 10.  This impromptu net has not been coordinated.  
 
 We will also monitor 146.940 if you have any questions.   
 
 I hope some of you will join us.

Re: [BVARC] Psychosomatic / Technical Question

[TJ via BVARC]

I know I am new to this hobby but it seem to me that when you double the power 
(3db) then double again, you would have a very noticeable difference.

Just thoughts from a new ham.

 How ‘bout this:
 
 Stronger signals do affect (or is it effect?) the ALC and “push” the noise 
 level down. Sometimes all it takes is that extra S-unit. The acoustic result 
 is a signal that seems much louder, since the brain deals with less noise. 
 Try fiddling with the RF gain control for a similar noise reduction.
 
 You did not say if you were dealing with CW or Phone, although Willie C. is 
 holding a sign.

 I am working on a presentation about losses within the antenna system and

 -- Why does going from 100 watts (barefoot) to 400 watts (adding a linear) 
 “seem” to make such a big difference in on air performance/audio punch etc.?
 
 My observations -- Even though it is only  x 4 -- 6dB – one S-unit -- it 
 “sounds” like, most times, a larger jump.
Sometimes the receiver indicates a larger jump too, S-meter wise, 
 which points to a receive chain performance issue – non linear AGC gain 
 response.   I am guessing here.
 
 Anyone care to voice some insight?
