The best performance is obtained by mounting the preamp as close to the antenna as possible. I believe the CPA-19 ships with a 3' RG-6 cable for this purpose. The negative effect of adding another 10 feet is real, but minor. The effect would be like adding about 0.5 dB of noise to the system which would reduce the NM (noise margin) by that amount.
