When I lived in Oklahoma City I met John Bryant (not a ham). John was a retired distinguished professor from Oklahoma State University. He was also an AM broadcast band expert SWL and DXer.
Here is a simple, yet fascinating note he co-wrote about Pre-Amps: http://www.dxing.info/equipment/preamp_bryant_connelly.dx John and I spent many afternoons discussing RX antennas. He had amazing insight on many of the exact same projects we work on as Hams. He died in a tragic accident a few years ago. 73, Tim K3LR _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
