Hi Bob,

I noticed I used the word "line" in two senses here that may confuse.
The first actually means a line distribution amplifier. This is
usually used to augment a homes cable load of too many TV sets. The
other sense is a transmission line powered amplifier mounted on the
mast just beneath the antenna. Power into the transmission line and
up to the amplifier is applied through a special unit down near the
receiver which handles keeping the DC separate from the RF.
