    And that's only on TRANSMIT. Your rx gain is 0 dB. This'd be a big 
alligator - all mouth and no ears.

##  Nice try Steve.... it does not  work  that way !    Too many folks these 
days have an elevated noise floor.   Once you are maxed out for antenna’s  on
your property, you don’t have many options left.   These days, you can latch 
onto internet receiver’s anywhere in the world, so RX problems can sometimes
be alleviated...depending on latency.   Nobody gets 12 dbd of gain  @ 60 feet 
on any band, that’s  pie in the sky.  You do the best you can, and Eimac does 
the rest.  
An extra 6-9 db on TX works wonders these days....levels the playing field a 
bit. 

later.... Jim   VE7RF
