Mike, If you want a low cost RX antenna the Lankford Low Noise Vertical is better than an active vertical, of any kind. I have 2 of them 200¡¯ apart and a Lankford Phaser #2 and it is a great setup.

50-watts. Remember, I live at 5700 feet elevation which will lower the voltage rating. I can squeeze 100-watts if I'm careful, but usually limit it to 50 watts. In the picture, the variable capacitor

I can't install it in front of loop preamp. There is no place for me to install it. The preamp is on the antenna itself. But filter in front of my kiwi does solve most of the problem.
