The OP was talking about 144 MHz. For weak signal work I can't imagine not
using a mast-mounted preamp. Even with sub 1 dB NF devices (that we paid dearly
for when I was on EME) located in the shack, line loss is a killer.

In today's world, a mast-mounted preamp is a waste of effort for the vast
majority of hams because circuit noise in the receiver is rarely the
limitation on what we hear.
