I do not recall writing anything about power amplifiers or something

The paragraph you quoted is the paragraph I reiterated what I thought
you were saying. All that follows was not from you, but a followup
continuing the topic.

As for DXing. I don't chase it, but I don't turn it down either. We
do seem to be in agreement that TOA isn't the most important factor.

{Break from that}

I have heard where antennas, beams in particular, have been mounted
too high and thus not been as good for the contact. I don't remember
the numbers, two to three wavelengths sounds right, but there seems to
be an optimum height for beam antennas.

Art first mentioned the amps and I threw in the one-way propagation
statement, which probably neither of which really contributes to the
real question for discussion.
