I'm curious to know if anyone has built a slotted line at home.


Jerry, if you use balanced feedline, you don't need a slotted
line. You can just use an inductive pickup loop with a 1N34A
diode rectifier circuit. Whatever you read on your DC voltmeter
as maximum and minimum values will yield the SWR. That's another
advantage of ladder-line.
