determining impedance of modulation xform

[Al Parker]

hI john,
    Seems to me, that if you take an audio generator, hook it up to the
primary thru a decade resistance box, or switchable resistance, terminate
the secondary with the proper 6500 ohm resistor, and switch the primary's
resistance until you measure the same AC voltage across the primary leads &
the resistor, the resistance will equal the impedance.
    Probably use 1000kc or so, maybe measure with a scope?
Other than that, how are things with you down there?  That's a pretty hefty
xfmr, what ya gonna use it in?
