<DIV>Yes, the Los Angeles area is not rural and noisy. Yes a good high
preamplifier with good IP2 and IP3 and not too much gain, like 10 dB will
be perfect.</DIV>

<DIV>However, when I had a 5-element 10 meter beam in the Los Angeles
area, I never saw anything below 20 dB even with the band closed. If there is
a switchable RF preamplifier, most conditons should be able to be
accomodated.</DIV>
