[Lowfer] A Request

Hi Group   Over the past month I've done my best to rid the LF of manmade noise.  With my folded Longwire/Balun needs to be replaced with a different portable antenna (Location Sensitive).  My LW antenna is a fixed item and has to be abandoned for 500 KHz and lower.

I've concluded a Homebrew Amplified whip set-up would allow me to find a possible quiet spot and could be mounted much much higher out of the noise zone.

The request  is would anyone have a good working whip amplifier no longer needed that I could buy??  I worked 25 yrs in RF Manufacturing and
had hands of a surgeon but over the last 10 yrs it is all gone......I can no longer build anything here but general assembly.

I can get coax and 4' whip from RS here and a mount of some sort however now being winter I have 3' of snow everywhere.  I'd like to salvage the remaining LF season.  If you could help out contact me off list at  wmarvin at hickorytech.net  .

Also I have a Mark Connelly (MWDX 5) BCB antenna phazer that can be adapted to combine 2 antenna's for noise or signal control if both antenna's prove to be noisy.

Best DX
