[VHFcontesting] Query on 6-Meter Equipment: Preamp, Antenna Combiner

[Fred Lass]

A Comet CF-360 will split the 6 meter antenna.

An all channel TV preamp will work on 6 meters.

I am looking for some proven solutions to allow possible addition of
6-meters to a Skimmer Server ("Reverse Beacon") to be installed on Curacao
in November.

The primary purpose of this installation will be to provide CW spots via
telnet for the six contest bands 160-10 meters, and I won't do anything to
compromise that function. However, the QS1R receiver to be used is capable
of also spotting CW signals on 192 kHz of 6-Meters at the same time, and if
I can add that function, I'd like to do it.

A block diagram of the system, with the proposed 6-meter addition, is at:

I am looking for recommendations for a proven 6-meter preamplifier. It will
be mounted indoors.

I also need a splitter capable of combining the signal from an HF antenna
and from 6-meter antenna and feeding a single receiver while maintaining
50-75 ohm impedance. I have such devices that I've used for the low bands,
but have never tried to find one to work on both HF and 6-meters.
