I made a poor man's sampler.? I just put a loop around the coax and connect it to the scope.? There is plenty of rf even when operating barefoot.?

This is an example of an RF tap used for sampling a signal.

?If you just want to monitor what your antenna is radiating, a 24" clip lead
formed in a loop works fine for RF pickup into an o'scope.? Connect one end
of the clip lead to the BNC backshell and the other to the center of the
BNC.? While it is not a quantitative sampler, it will capture plenty of
energy to assess the quality of your radiated RF energy.? Otherwise, the
Collins Radio solution looks pretty spiff and easy to build.

Is something like this what I need? If so I'd prefer to build by own if I
can get some info on the core type and number of turns and such. If this
isn't what I need, what would this be used for exactly?
Thanks Max
