An amp helps tremendously on receive if the guy with the amp is on the
other end of the QSO from you. And if you can't hear him you aren't
going to make the contact.
It has been said before many times, and I'm living proof of it ... an
amplifier is the most cost effective way to improve the QSO rate for
everyone that there is. If everyone used amplifiers it would be the
equivalent of dropping the background QRN level by ten or more db ... a
huge amount. And spare me the argument that QRM would increase (if
everyone had amps) ...it wouldn't, because the water level would simply
rise for everyone.

Just my view.
