Topband: K9AY amplifier

[Tim Shoppa]

Unless you are in some incredibly-low-atmospheric-noise location, the rig's
preamplifier will be enough for a K9AY loop.

It is important to use good coax with intact shield. I was helping a friend
of mine with his K9AY and his old coax was leaking in more signal than the
antenna was picking up. We replaced the coax and everything was better!
