David,

True but IIRC I was replying to a message where he said the SWR was flat through 6m.  Usually, somewhere between 20m and 6m, receive losses do count.

The receive part of the penalty, from a lossy antenna, only applies if the dominant noise source is after the point of attenuation. That's not generally true at HF.

(I wonder if, at microwave frequencies, it is possible to use circulators and isolators to put passive losses in on only the transmit path.)
