Hello, all excellent suggestions. You simply have to evaluate your receiving site and determine which option is best. Now divorced, I reside in a wood framed two story 4 unit building just outside of Pittsburgh. I've installed a Par End Fed (Universal Radio) in my attic and in WWII resistance style, made a small hole in the ceiling (landlord loves that, but he's cool with it, always pay my rent 30-60 days ahead and do minor maintenance work for him) dropping the feed line into my setup. From there, it feeds a active Stridesberg Multicoupler (don't know why I had to go with additional preamplification) outputting to my R8600, R9000, and Galaxy R 530.
Works very well, only issue is radom interference which kills all incoming signals and cycles on and off. Happens year round, I deal with it. Maybe marriage was not so bad after all, had lots of property for very large antennas with no noise issues.
Now looking for a Sugar Mamma to take me away from all this.
Good luck with your installation, check back in and let us know how it worked for you.
Happy DX!
