This is supposed to be a "great" Norton amp. I have not used it personally 
but it was previously mentioned in this I group I think.

I built one of these preamps way back when Diz first began offering them. 
It works great!  I also purchased several spare 2N5109 as he had the best 
price.  Again, good transistors.

I tested the K ‘n P model preamp which I had built for a friend against a 
W7IUV which I had built some years before ‘dead bug” style for myself and 
both showed about the same gain and low noise. I still run W7IUV preamps on 
my K9AY loops as well as some other RX antennas though have been thinking 
about changing one out for a Norton type.
