Topband: Beverage transformer and testing

Hi Trevor, 


Simply terminate the high impedance side of your transformer in 
a 470 ohm resistor (or almost any other resistor) and use an antenna 
analyzer to measure the input impedance of the transformer. The 
reading should be consistent the impedance ratio of the transformer.

Hi I know it's probably been covered here hundreds of times but I'm looking to make a matching Transformer for a 550ft beverage to 75 ohm coax, 

I have so bn73-202 cores 

Also how can I test it once it's built 

Thanks
