[Elecraft] Checking antenna with dip meter

[RMariutto@aol.com]

I have been thinking of installing the 160 Meter option but my antenna is a 
40 meter doublet fed with twin lead matched with a ZM-2 balanced ATU.  In Ed 
Noll's book "Easy-Up Antennas"  he outlines a 20 ft vertical quarter wave 
with a very large multi tapped inductor as a loading coil. Question: can I 
build a dip meter to measure which tap to pick on the large inductor.  The 
dip meter would be connected at the antenna feed point with a couple of loops 
of wire.  I have seen plans for the dip meter at Farr circuits and the ARRL 
handbook (old one) and by searching the net.  What do you think, will it work?

Thanks a lot for your comments,
