I had not thought of using one of those LNA's on a magloop (even my un-refined intuition was unsure about that) until I stumbled upon the webpage where they were doing exactly that. Since the initial results were so poor, I've not done anything further with it, but I did obtain a "Wellgood" pcb from George Smart and some 3866's kindly supplied by Graham and so I have the Wellgood about half built now, and I'm hoping that will perform to the same standards as its forebears.
