Actually. The K9AY with preamp is a compromise antenna which is a wonderful
solution where a full sized beverage or receiving array cannot be installed.
But it is not comparable in performance with a 900 ft terminated beverage.
Feel free to ask K9AY himself if you doubt that. No strike to the K9AY where
it is the solution that fits.

I have a new, never used (but scratched in shipping) K9AY control box if anyone
is interested.
