[Elecraft] Is it just me?

[Ken Arck]

Well, I don't want this to devolve into an OT issue but it is well 
established that any feedline loss ahead of the receiver adds to the 
total noise figure of the system. (outside influences such as sky 
temperature, local noise sources, etc notwithstanding)

So if you place a preamp with a NF of .5 dB at the "rig end" of a 
feedline run that exhibits 3 dB of loss at the frequency involved, 
you now have an effective noise figure of 3.5 dB ahead of your 
receiver. Placing the preamp at the antenna has an obvious advantage 
of reducing that NF by 3 dB.
