As  \neveryone mentioned, definitely go with a preamp - but think for the  \nfuture.  How much transmitter output power do you have?  If you have  \nrelatively low power, say 5 watts, you can get an inexpensive preamp.   \nHowever, if you plan to use higher power in the future, perhaps for  \nmeteor scatter; that low power preamp may no longer be useful.\n\n> And also, is there much difference between a heliax 0.5\"  and a RG-8  \n> on\n> a 50 feet cable run between the antenna and the radio ?\n\nAgain, you've received several responses, but one thing hasn't been  \nmentioned.  What is your output power?  If you have an HT with a  \ncouple of watts, that RG-8 may 'eat up' a lot of your power,  \nespecially if you are going to transmit on 440 Mhz.  Without knowing  \nhow much power you have, and which birds you plan to use, it's  \ndifficult to give you a good answer.\n\n> I would really like to optimize my receiving quality but I also want  \n> to\n> know where to put all my effort first.\n\n\"you can't work 'em if you can't hear them\"; also don't forget that  \nyou need to hear yourself FIRST.  Work on hearing your downlink if  \npossible before you start to call other stations.  If you can't hear  \nyourself, then post about it so we can help you out.  I think it would  \nbe helpful if you told us which type(s) of rig(s) you will be using.\n\n> I'm new and I cannot invest much money the first year.\n\nWhen you find a fellow ham who has all the money that's necessary to  \nbuild a perfect station, please let me know!\n\n> Thank to all for your advice.\n>\n> 73\n>\n> ---\n> Jean-François Ménard\n> VA2SS\n\n73 de W4AS\nSebastian\n",
