1) do you have a broadband(ish) preamp (perhaps with band select

2) Do you put the digitizer out at the antenna, and bring the samples
back by network?
3) What should the digitizer look like? A Superhet or Direct
Conversion/Low IF front end followed by a low speed high resolution
sampler? Or a wide open sampler?
Just something else to worry about:
Buried in the boilerplate of contest rules is something to the
effect that "antennas must be connected by wires", whatever
that means. Can the "wires" be CAT5 network cables?
I guess "bring the samples back by network" excludes a wireless
network (wi-fi, etc.)
