[Elecraft] Amplifiers in general

[Clay Autery]

Let me posit a SWAG on why this case APPEARS to buck the math in reality....

I submit that all "noise" is not equal.  I'm guessing that you can hear
a radio transmission mathematically below the apparent  noise level
because it is "atypical" or "organized noise" as opposed to the "noise"
in the S2 noise floor which is "disorganized".

Obviously, there are much more correct and scientific ways of
illustrating this, but it would be a LOT longer winded.  :)

73,

PS - Just my intuitive SWAG, btw.
