I was told by a VU ham friend that in order to experiment with loaded coil dipole antennas, it is essential to have an LCR meter. It was during the discussion on my recently homebrewed loaded coil 80m antenna which would not resonate on 80m. The coil which I had wound myself probably did not have the needed inductance due to wider spacing of winding than in the design. This is the new LCR meter which arrived today after an online purchase a few days back.
