Nano VNA antenna antenna tester: first look
Banggood sent me this Nano VNA to check out.
A VNA is a "vector network analyzer" used to test, measure, calibrate and diagnose antenna systems.
It's useful piece of test equipment for any radio hobbyist to have. And this one is definitely hobbyist priced (as opposed to the multi 10s of thousands of dollar professional units I have used in the past)

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.
