I suppose you could do a split type distribution of the conversion 
functions, but it may be simpler to just add some more gain at L1 with 
an in-line amplifier - preferably close to the far (antenna) end. You'd 
have to work out how to provide the DC power for it, like taking some 5V 
supply current off the line, and passing the rest to the LNA at the antenna.

If your existing antenna is passive (no LNA right at it), then that's 
the first thing to do - get an amplified type. Presuming it is already a 
typical amplified type, then adding another gain stage at the right spot 
can make up for a lot of cable loss.
