Tom,
I use the DX Engineering DXE-RG5000HD receiver guard and DX Engineering
DXE-RPA-2 receive preamplifier ahead of my FTDX101MP. They are both
located in my shack. I changed from the internal K9AY preamp for better
use on 60m. I can tell a difference if I turn the preamp off. I don't
know how well it would be to locate the preamp at the antenna.

Hello OMs,
I plan to build a K9AY antenna.My question is about location of its
preamplifier.I consider locating it inside the control box at the base of the
antenna.Does it have any advantage/disadvantage? I am concerned about signal
strength loss in coax between antenna and radio if amplifier is located at the
receiver side.I do appreciate any comments-
Tom, SP7WT
