I think Clifton Labs sells the Z10040B now Jim. As amplifiers go, I suspect you won't get much better than this one, very well specified and tested. But for best results, you'll want to provide it with 50 ohm input and 50 ohm output; the latter could be a 50 ohm attenuator pad if you have

---BeginMessage--- Great job guys. It's funny, what a difference a couple hundred miles can make. Down here in St. Louis, Missouri, I feel lucky every time I even hear WWKB u/the powerhouses KOKC and KRHW. I remember as a teenager living near Chicago how easy and dominant Buffalo often was on

I don't think WWKB beams much signal your direction likely protecting KOKC. It's also important to note what a difference antennas make. If I aim a DKAZ west or SW I won't know WWKB is on the air. If I aim ENE as now with the array, I don't know that KRHW and KOKC are on the air. Bill is

I do hear the first iteration of “Y.Doodle” about 4 sec in, but it’s louder and much more distinct (to my ears anyway) when it starts up again at :21 in. (I think there may be one of their “This is the Voice of America, Washington, D.C., signing on” announcements in between, which is why
