[TowerTalk] Locating Buried Cables - Followup

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

>> If I understand correctly what Pat is trying to do (locate cables
>> with known ends, but unknown routing), you might be able to
>> energize them with some low-frequency energy the way those
>> home wire locating tools work (I think they use a few hundred
>> kilohertz).

A rough DC car battery charger connected to the line with a bulb at 
the far end as a load.  You can usually follow the buzz on the cable 
with a portable radio tuned to the medium wave, MF or however you name 
it.
