Hi Roelof
Can you be quite sure the feedline is not contributing to your 
received signal level? Any variation in strength with height would be 
a good indication that it is.
 Interesting to note your proposed use of the BFR96- have to say 
2N5109s are not easy to find now. Is the BFR96 used in this instance 
from the SMD aspect and is there any performance degradation from 
this.
