A good time-domain reflectometer


Thank you Barry! Would TV/FM transmitter and cell BTS installers
normally have such a device? I don't know any ham who has one but
these days I am talking to professional antenna people. And, by the
way, if one thing I am working on pans out, they'll come to install a
BTS right atop my condo. (The challenge will be to convince them to
let me hang HF wires from the same tower :-)


If you have an oscilloscope, a pulse generator and a calculator you have
a TDR.

If you don't have a pulse generator it takes about 2 IC's to build one.
