Thanks for all the replies. Tom, I put that preamp at the antenna to hear a specific station on 20 meters to the NW. On 20, I cannot always hear the background noise in the reverse direction. The Beverage is too long for that band (580'), not to mention it's made from electric fence wire.
My main preamp is in the shack. Always has been, and that location works on 40 meters and below. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Sun, Oct 11, 2015 at 8:48 PM, Tom W8JI <w...@w8ji.com> wrote: ...
