James,
Here is a link to a low cost preamp on ebay. I have purchased one and
it works as advertised. Maybe this will do what you desire to
accomplish.

Subject: Topband: Preampm for 160 meter receive loop
OK - did a little listening yesterday evening and this A.M. on 160
with my loop and found band noise way down, relative to my
transmitting antenna (an Inverted U).
So, I'd like to add a pre-amp at the base of the loop BUT when I
google 160 meter preamp for sale (or 160 meter preamp kit) the only
items I find are a DXE product and an ARR 1 module.
Either is/are more than I care to spend (not 'cuz I am "cheap," but
'cuz it's a loop, not a Beveridge or a K9AY loop, and I don't expect
this loop to be that competitive with more sophisticated receive
antennas).
Any ideas or places to vector me to? I am disabled and can't operate
any kind of tool BUT do have a friend who'll build a kit for me so a
kit wud work. I saw the ICE pre-amps and wish they were still around -
looks like that would be an excel "first start" kind pre-amp to purchase.
Off-line replies are totally ok - don't need any "nah, this unit is
better than what 'he' just said" sort of replies - just some
ideas...thank you, in advance, for you replies.
