I often wondered the same thing when trying to use a Wheeler Cap to measure efficiency (HI)
So, just be practical. Simply load your L so that it is physically the size of a 100 MHz antenna, as this is where the measurement ranges of this device starts. 100 MHz to 140 GHz is the spec. So a 1/50 th size 160 MX HF antenna can indeed be measured. That is if you can get power into it as the Feed Z is only about 2/100ths of an ohm. But I do wonder if the associated software will measure and analyze into the Low VHF and HF ranges? Probably not. An interesting project for the weekend.
