Hi Gary - 
   
  I think its all been said by the others but Lloyd Butler's site
   
   http://users.tpg.com.au/users/ldbutler/QMeter.htm

   
  gives some circuits. I would think that a scope with a X10 probe would be a suitable voltmeter - as Peter says, it doesn't have to be calibrated, just display the ratio.
   
  Good luck - Brian G3YKB

  Hi All,

Thanks to all for additional comments on the previous thread 'LF Loading
Coils'.

Continuing on the theme of loading coils, is there a simple method of
calculating the 'Q' of an LF loading coil without using a 'Q' meter (a
device I have not got access to). I would like to carry out my own
tests/experiments on my antenna system, it can only add to my knowledge
base.
