We're talking here about reported changes in loss that - if true - would
be equivalent to a 5dB change between dry and wet on a 100ft of
ladderline feeding a doublet on 10m.
Are you folks trying to tell me that 5dB makes "little to no difference"?

Bob is right! In the end, propagation will dictate. External

Sure we can increase efficiency, yet the results are subtle.
It all depends upon whether the band is open, eh?
Well said, Bob!

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.
