Richard, moving the dummy load to the end of the transmission line is
an excellent idea, and I really wish I could do it easily, but the
paint can I used doesn't have a handle. I'll try to work something
like that out this weekend.

Hi Jack,

This is where you could as easily use a 50 Ohm resistor and your noise
generator. There would be less interfering signals to confuse the
data.

You could also throw a deliberate mismatch onto the end like a 200 Ohm
resistor. What value is that? If you measured 1:1, it would indicate
you have an extremely lossy line (which tends to smooth out mismatches
and gives some antenna inventors that warm snuggly feeling that they
have licked the experts).
