Tree,

See if you can persuade someone to lend you their AIM4170. The software 
for the AIM has just been updated to include a TDR function, and this 
performs very well.

For more details, see the "AIM_840 Program Update" item in the AIM 
discussion forum:

See also my updated AIM4170 PowerPoint presentation on this page:

New slides 67-71 in the presentation show examples of TDR scans on coax 
cables, and in a few days there will be another new slide showing a very 
illuminating TDR scan of an open-wire feeder.

There's no doubt about it -- the AIM4170 just gets better and better!
