Photos I and 2 show the meter built in
a Bakelite box with aluminum pan el. I have
measured the resistan ce of a loading coil 01
a new Hustler mob ile antenna and compare
d it to my old beat-up one. I planned
to bu ild a dipole out of th e two of them
and wan ted to be sure everything was
okay. Resistance of the probes I used was
O.2n, by shorting th em together, the total
reading (p robes + coil) was l. On . Therefore
the coils were O.8n.
Other uses will suggest themselves. I
hope you will find thi s novel instru ment as
useful as I have.
