Antenna and power

[K7SGJ]

Waiting...waiting....waiting; isn't anyone going to tell him that doubling his input power equals a 3 dB increase to the antenna and, that the 3 dB increase in his signal would *probably* not make a difference on the receiving end.

Maybe I'm wrong about that, maybe 3 dB gain would make a difference EME or Sat-Comms, feel free to edify me.

ETA: Doubling you watts is not the same as doubling the length of your pecker; hard to get that concept over to the CB crowd!

I never thought of a 3db gain in pecker length. (other than from at rest to attention) Interesting concept.
