ISTR a simple LC oscillator that, when coupled to a frequency counter,
enabled unknown/dubious inductors to be classified when oscillating
with a known Capacitor. Where did I see it?.


One thing I've used ... if you simply put the inductor in series with a
resistor, and then put RF across it, you can then measure the voltage drops
across the resistor and the inductor with your RF probe and from there
calculate the inductance ... or capacitance for that matter.

The oscillator idea sounds a little more convenient, once you built up the
oscillator, with a few capacitance choices to get the resonance on the right
planet.
