[Elecraft] Miles per Watt

Miles per Watt is nonsense data to impress people.because nothing happens in linear mode!!!So increasing or decreasing power by 10 times will not expand range by 10 times.. More you go to miliwatts better will be m/W calculated ratio. Adi ___

It's all in fun, miles, the simple math, the whole bit. As I pointed out on slashdot, it's a simpified model. Going to inverse squared is one step closer to the physics, but it's a slippery slope. You will want to measure the ERP in the direction used by the propagation path, factor in the
