Your thoughts on sweep frequency for impedance measurement is very
interesting. If I could figure out a way to build the "sensors" I'd
probably build a sweep system for 2 meters.

Hi Jerry,

Quite simple. Radio Shack sells SWR meters for 2M so you can take a
lead for the sensors from there.

Although I could handle
building a sweep frequency generator, I wouldnt know how to convert the
"incident and reflected" to an impedance.

Software would do that.

I suspect that, if sweep frequency impedance measurements was simple
enough for Me to do, someone would already have done it and published in one
of the HAM magazines.

I'm sure that's already been done, at least in the ads in back. I am
NOT discussing what might be, but what has been done. There is a kit,
or kit design on the net, it's been mentioned here, I just haven't
rummaged up the link yet.
