Topband: K9AY amplifier

[Bill Shell - N6WS]

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.

73, Bill

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-
