[Elecraft] Tenna Dipper, part II...

[Lambs, Dick & Judy]

I'd agree that the Tenna Dipper is a simple, inexpensive alternative  
to the antenna analyzer.  Another simple and inexpensive alternative  
is an antenna noise bridge of the type that uses the transceiver  
itself as the frequency determining element.  These gadgets are broad- 
banded so they cover the whole HF spectrum continuously.  Palomar  
Enginners, Heathkit, MFJ, and perhaps others made them.

Ten Tec sells one in kit form for $19:  See:
