Beverage antenna questions

end. What type of resistor and how much ohmage?
There are several antenna books which make the same suggestion, so I have
no way of citing the original source.
They all sugest you take a mechanical hour timer and connect a terminating
potentiomiter to the shaft of the timer, start the timer and record the
noise from the antenna. Note where it reaches the minimum.
A more modern possibility is to use two HT's and have one person monitor the
noise, while the other adjusts the resistance.
You probably could do it with a laptop, wifi and skype, but that may affect
the results.
