Of course it is easier to generate a more effective [stronger erp on a shorter wave than one with the same size ant on LF.]
Lot less loading coil on 500 than 137 or 73 to bring ant to resonance. I am lucky to get 2 w erp from a KW on 73 or maybe 4 watts erp on 137 but I can make nearly 40 W erp on 500 with same ground system and ant. Bob

Hello Bob and all,
It's much easier to put a good sigs out on 472 than 137 or
73. Countless new modes to use and band conditions much
more predictable on 600 meters.
I agree as far as PEP-versus-ERP is concerned.
Hah! Was that a joke?
That wasn't a joke.
That was a comparison of the efficiency of a LF antenna with an MF
antenna.
Please explain why you think this is a joke.
Are you seriously saying that generating the same ERP on MF (now
listen..) is EASIER THAN ON LF ?
73,
Wolf .
easier on MF than on LF of course !
