Topband: Finding break in Beverage wire (postscript)

[Barry N1EU]

Thanks for all the very helpful and astute suggestions.

Due to the inordinate snow cover, I ended up drawing from two of the 
suggested methods.  I tuned a signal generator to a quiet spot on a portable 
am radio and ran the signal down the Beverage.  It worked very well and I 
easily could approximate the break location.  Next I ran 12 volts dc down 
the wire (blocking cap already in place at feedpoint gnd) and pierced the 
wire with a pin and used a DVM to pinpoint (hi) the location.

Wishing all a happy and warm new year,
Barry  N1EU
