Hi Don
Gosh, really? Looking at the circuit, and given the resistors used, I would
have thought the input impedance would be about 800 ohms . . .
And hard to estimate the output impedance, but wouldn't have thought it was
about 50 ohms.
Guess I'm wrong then ! Sorry about that.
(I already built a FET pre-amp for my Loop . . . but was just commenting.)

HI Roger,
You said "However, the circuit seems odd . . . I used transformers in and
out on my Loop Preamp, to give a match to 50 ohms."
I believe your above statement was in reference to the W7IUV preamp. I've
measured the W7IUV preamp input and output impedances and also modeled the
W7IUV preamp using LTspice, and both methods yield input and output
impedances of close to 50 ohms. Therefore no additional components (such as
matching transformers) are required for impedance matching purposes on the
W7IUV preamp.
Just FYI,
Don (wd8dsb)

That's a nice cheap board, and worth using considering it has relay
