Hi all:

Is there a rule of thumb that can be used?
IE:  you have a perfectly resonant antenna with 100W out.  What power is
needed to get an improvement on the signal strength?  Will 200W make much
difference or to receive an actual increase in signal strength, a power
gain of lets say, 500W is required? Will a power output of 800/KW give much
improvements to a 500W signal strength?  Also, If you have an amp rated at
400W continuous or digital mode,  what would the PEP SSB rating be?

Thanks to all & 73:
Michael VO1RYN
