I think it all boils down to signal to noise.
If you are trying to communicate with another station and he is putting out
100 watts and is not being copied and then he puts out 110 watts and you can
copy him that is what counts.

1/100th dB extra get you that last DXCC country? As I say, am very cynical

50:12.5 Ohm with an insertion loss of around 0.1dB or less over the
interval of 100KHz to 30MHz.
AND THAT IS NOT THE BEST EXAMPLE OF LOW LOSS!
