Doug,
Some users do quite well with the eggbeater setup I started out with the UHF & VHF eggbeater setup with preamps and iC910. It worked OK for the FM birds, but I found it lacking when it came to the sideband birds. I didn't go big, I now use a rotor with dual Arrow antennas. The most important part for me was to purchase preamps with built in band filtering.

I have previously been active on the birds.. ao-10 ao-13 ao-40 as well as the rs birds infact Ihave qsl cards from ao-7 the first time it was active My question is will I be able to work the leos with the eggbeaters or do I need something more robust I have a ic-9100 and I would mount them at about 60 feet on top of the tower. I will have a excellent path to the east. I would but a preamps in the uhf and vhf lines at the antenna. Doug WD8Z En85gc
