Fellow amateur radio operators: Over the past 14-yrs I have been

..snip.. are you comfortable with the statement: that dipmeters are
useless because they simultaneously couple to everything within several
feet? or how anout: resistance wire has reverse RF skin-effect at HF?

Dip meters do couple to conductors in the near field.

€€ does the near field extend more than 6" from the pickup coil?

Current density of resistive wire does increease with depth. Call that
reverse skin effect if you like?

€€ That was not what he was asserting. His position was that the RF-R of
Ni-Cr resistance-wire behaved opposite to
that of Cu wire at HF. Do you agree Brian?
