HI Roger, You said "However, the circuit seems odd . . . I used transformers in and out on my Loop Preamp, to give a match to 50 ohms." I believe your above statement was in reference to the W7IUV preamp. I've measured the W7IUV preamp input and output impedances and also modeled the W7IUV

Per Larrys comment, to the best of my knowledge the most current W7IUV design is captured in his Revision 5 document, and the schematic within this document that's the most current design is identified as follows: Revised 13Sep09. Here is a link to Revision 5 document:

Larry, W7IUV, made some changes to the design over the years. It's important to find the latest recommended component valves for optimum preamp performance. GL - Steve WB6RSE _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
