Taking drugs is illegal whereas a couple of large stacked yagis is LEGAL.
Take 1500w with 13 dB gain on the higher hf bands = 30,000 Watts (USA for
example) a nice enhancement. or
400w with 13 dB gain = 8,000 Watts ( UK)
How can one be less advantaged when there is CHOICE and it is legal and not
expensive. A radio amateur can build himself/herself a suitable yagi antenna
and a suitable amplifier.
At one stage I built a 16 ft parabolic dish with suitable feed also a 6 ele
30 ft 6 metre yagi, both items built from readily available materials and
scrap.
I do not see your logic !!!!!
