>From 100 to 150, for 1.7 dB, when Bell Laboratories research (with
huge capital investment and telephone maintenance dollars on the line)
determined that 3 dB was the signal strength change discernment for
most people?
It's amazing how these slim changes hold on with hams and spend their
money, when tons of research demonstrates the difference is not
perceived. We FEEL GOOD running 150 instead of 100, running 1500
instead of 1200. Never hear it on the other end.
The REAL TX dB is between our ears, when to transmit, where to
transmit and what to transmit. They who have the full 27 db allocation
there can work the pileups QRP.
