2m Band VHF antenna pre-amplifier - Homebrew pre-amp for 144-146 MHz amateur band and OSCAR Satellites, using BF981 Dual-gate MosFet. Gain ~15 dB, NF=1dB.

Antenna Noise and Signal Cancelling at LF - By using the signals from two antennas, controlling their relative amplitudes and controlling the phase of one of them, unwanted signal or unwanted noise can be phased out. Circuitry is described which uses the signal from a wire antenna to provide selective cancelling against the signal output from an LF loop antenna.
