Hello,
I'm not sure I need to have a preamp but I'd like to try. I live in the  
middle of Paris and have more than 100ft of coax between the antenna (DX-77) 
and  
the transceiver (TS-950SDX). Some signals are too weak, just  below the 
'workable' limit, and I thought a preamp will help.
I know that preamp with amplify noise too but... I will not be sure until I  
tried. :-)

I'm  not sure that a preamp is needed with this antenna. If you unplug the 
coax  from the receiver (listening on 160 meters at night) and the noise drops 
then  you don't need a preamp. The system noise is dominated by external  noise.
