I agree with this Dave. Like many other things, it is
"easy" whereas antenna improvements generally require
thought and work.
But remember that, you spending a fortune on a big amplifier isn't going
to help you to hear the other weak station.
It just frustrates the other station because he can easily hear you and
you not hear him. He then brands you as having a lousy receive setup.
and a some folks are
antenna limited,
So will probably be either usin inside antennas or have them mounted
extremely close to theirs or others houses.
Sounds like a good recipe for interfearance and bad neighbour relationships.
Remember that antenna improvements give you, in effect, a free high
performance receive preanp.
I think the folks at Aptos are responding to the
market.
What's APTOS?
