That reminds me of several occasions where a preamp located as close to the antenna as possible (the shortest coax jumper that was practical) appeared to isolate the high VSWR from the down-lead. This is one of those possible exceptions to the generalization that a preamps' job is to deal with loss on the downstream side. There's almost always an exception to a given 'rule'.
