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.
