Thank you!
I have been trying to understand what I was missing.

I have learned a lot in this experience. I am still going to visit
the lab Friday to see how these measuremnts are made with
modern equipment.

And the time wasn't wasted, I learned somethings and I picked up
some "cool" junk.

If I can get the RCA active multiset coupler running I will be set.
Sadly the power transformer is dead. Open primary.

I have removed ti and I hope it is just one of the leads has pulled
loose. Worst case I will find someway to power this sucker up.
The unit uses TNC RF connectors, how convenient! The guy
I got it from said it was dead wehn it was given to him hin the
early 1970's.

A quaint archaic southern term most often used to denote someone
who has just obtained advanced university degrees, or any degree in
divinity.

My friend has passed all her exams, defended both her thesis(or should
that be thesi for plural?) and is waiting for graduation to receive her

degrees. I feel some satisfaction because my wife and I helped her get
her first SWL setup, my old RF2200, helped her study for her ham
license and encouraged her to shoot for the stars when no one else had
faith that
a black girl from the wrong side of town could get into college, much
less
get 2 PHDs. She has worked her ass off for the last decade. I know she

will do as well with the rest of her life as she has so far.

I can still remember the afternoon about 15 years ago when she called
me
at work wanting to know if I had ever heard any "radio signals from
the planet Jupiter." That started her interest in radio astronomy. When
she moved from the city to the country to live with an aunt after her
mother
started messing around with drugs, we put up a much better antenna
system and she won several "Science Fairs" and even got a couple of
scholarships for her efforts.

I am rather shocked that a good ol' southern boy from Jackson
Mississippi isn't familiar with the term "newly frocked". I have heard
it used by family
and friends back as far as I can rememember. And at 53 that is a fair
amount of time.

Some times the lead that protrudes from the transformer is not the wire
that is wound on the core. There may be a connection between the wires
just under the insulate tape wrapped around the core. If you carefully
cut and lift the tape to expose the wires you might find the connection
is open. If the connection is on top of the winding you can easily
repair it or you might discover a burned winding. Sounds to me you know
about that already.
