[amsat-bb] Masthead RF preamp suggestions?

[Peter Goodhall (2M0SQL)]

Everyone going to have strong views on Omnis vs Yagis so I'll cut to
comments on preamps

Low-cost decent preamps can be purchased from shf elektronik in
Germany http://www.shf-elektronik.de/en/ they are also resold via
Wimo, these preamps are well designed and have RF sense switching so
you can use them on TX too.
