[HCARC] Amplifier

[John Canfield]

One problem with a less than optimum antenna is if you pump out say 500 
watts, you might have a great transmitted signal but you can't hear. I 
call this an alligator - all mouth and no ears ;-)

At my first house many years ago if I used a few hundred watts I had RF 
all over my house and my neighbor's stereo system. I bypassed his 
speaker leads with a capacitor and problem solved. I forgot how I solved 
my problem. I was using a tri-band beam and a 4BTV vertical with radials 
on top of the house.

But if you're not able to have an efficient antenna  because of the lot size And trees as it is at my qth would brute force of an amplifier be the answer to help in making a contact.Thanks for the opinionsWD5ENHSteve
