Bob is right! In the end, propagation will dictate. External
conditions have more of an effect than the subtle differences
over which we have control.
Sure we can increase efficiency, yet the results are subtle.
It all depends upon whether the band is open, eh?
Well said, Bob!

Quoting Bob McGraw - K4TAX <RMcGraw@Blomand.net>:
As I said in my closing remark in an earlier post:
"I realize that we'd like to eak out every dB we can, but in the end, it
makes little to no difference on HF."
If one can match the load, using what ever means and equipment, then
energy will be transferred. On receiving, atomospheric and man made
noise will overtake any losses in the antenna system and will over
ride most all receiver noise.
