Jim Kortge, K8IQY, uses a cascode amp in his famous 2N2/40. He actually
uses it in the transmitter ... even with a passive mixer you don't need a
lot of gain on 40!

Back from good old tube days, cascoded triode RF preamps were good for
high
gain, stability and low noise.

Anything out there in transistorised version, or there is there better
stuff
available? Looking mainly for preamps on HF to be used with low gain
antennas,
like small loops or beverages.
