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?. ============== Realising that not every ham has a MFJ 259B or similar analyser , this is a really useful instrument and well worth considering ,not only for antenna matching. The 259B has among its facilities a capacitance and inductance measuring capability. When mesasuring inductances and capacitances it is very revealing that the measured values do change dramatically at higher frequencies ,especially useful to know when using components in HF and VHF circuits. BTW I also use an inductance & capacitance meter with LCD readout ,operating with an internal 1000 Hz oscillator , which measures the inductance / capacitance ,obviously at that frequency and is fine for up to the lower HF frequencies.
