Thanks for the link. BTW, not only was this dipper new in the box,
the 2 lower coils were still wrapped in parchment in another box.

Price? $25

Did you really want to spend ten lifetimes' worth of good-karma points
all at once? :-)

I swept the dipper from 350kc to 260mc, listening on everything
from my K2 to a scanner to my 2m/440 mobile - this thing has got
a very stout output!

Excellent. In my experience, as a general rule, the dippers having
higher output can achieve a usable dip with looser coupling to the
circuit being measured... which means less pulling of the oscillator,
less parasitic loading, and a more accurate measurement overall.
