costs, it might be cost  effective.  I'm sure someone has this
working for them  somewhere.  What do you guru's say to this?



Some potential problems  with the amp as already mentioned but you don't 
get the real advantage for  long coax runs with low loss coax which is less 
loss on the received signals. If  you can't hear them - you can't work them, 
no matter how much power you're  running.
