A question for you experts out there.  In the Spring, I plan to put 
some small antennas up on the roof, including a 1296 loop beam.
The coax run is straight to my rig with 125 feet of low loss coax (Bury Flex.)

Forgive my rookie question - will I need a pre-amp on the mast
for that band?

Hi Jamie,
Much depends on what you mean by "need".  In your area (FM19?) you have quite a 
density of 1296 capable stations.  I doubt you'll need a preamp to hear most of 
them.  However...if you want to work me (FN03) you'll probably benefit from 
having one.

I worked FM19 from here in January...but only a couple of the big guns.

Best wishes,
Ev, W2EV
