Heinz...To measure the distributed capacitance of any inductor, make a
linear plot of resonanting capacitance on the horizontal axis and
frequency on the vertical.  Plot at least two resonanting frequencies,
more would produce an average.  Connect these points with a straight line.
Where the line intersects the capacitance axis is the residual capacitance.

How can one measure the capacitance of the loop itself? Any suggestions?
