Yes, there is a big difference between 1W ERP from a small
garden antenna and 1W ERP from a 1000ft tower ;-) It's like
comparing the performance of canoe a with a 1hp outboard
engine with the performance of a big cargo ship a with a 1 hp
GOOD LOGIC, of course there is a difference, some just do not
understand. They are blaming large antennas when in fact it is their
hostile environment that is the problem. What the small antenna and its
small aperture is doing is attenuating the noise plus the SIGNAL on
receive and decieving you so you get confused and think small is best.
On transmit it is even worse. Every qth is different and what suits one
does not suit another, however separate the argument about antennas and
hostile environments. Commercial operators on MF/LF, site their large
antennas(tx/rx) well away from any noise source, and feed the signals
via land line to their office in the CITY.
Those with problems try looking for remote sites in the country, no need
to move house. Use your telephone line or uhf feed link.
