In this area 903 is pretty bad but not unusable from the portable site
I've been using. Up north it's far worse from what I've been told; W9ZIH
has given up on the band and is selling his 903 gear.
902 is a lot quieter. I notice the noise floor to be a lot less on 902 as
compared to 903.
I'm using a homebrew preamp using an MGF1302 on 902 but I have a design
using an FPD750 which looks promising - predicted gain of 20 dB and 0.4
dB NF. Just need to finish it and try it out.
