K8,
I had a general class Ham license when I was 14,
and I was good.
"""Mine works without me holding it."""
Not this Great, however!
I do like the idea you introduced
about affixing the tester to a Receptical
and listening for the signal from around the corner.
I do like that idea, maybe with some amplification.
Since I always work alone,
this is idea has immediate application.
Maybe I could put my spare cell-phone at the receptical,
within ear-shot of the ticker,
and and have it transmit a signal to my first cell-phone.
When I try that method (not the cell phone part- that is cool,) it is sometimes sproadic I've noticed. Most well grounded houses it works to let go of the tester, but older two wire branch circuit houses not so good. I have no idea of the workings of this phenominum.
