Topband: K9AY amplifier

[Mike Furrey]

 Hi Tom,

I used a K9AY loop in my small back yard in Houston. I rarely ever found the need for a preamp BUT I used an old Ameco PT-3 preamp inside the shack. That did just fine for me.

 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
