Plan B! Geez... I logged 2.5 miles on Sunday walking back-and-forth taking
measurements. An old Swedish proverb states: "When you fail to use your head,
you get to use your feet!" I guess I'll keep my day job.
I'll wind a pair of 4:1 transformers on some #73 binocular cores and and
temporarily install them on the ends. Then I'll terminate the end with a good
quality 250 ohm pot. (And maybe recruit a helper this time ; )
Thanks for the help.
