Here's a good example of what drags this out so long:

Well, there ISN'T a "Z-step-up L-Network" hidden in the tuning cap
of a TL-922 that I'm aware of.
I measured a tuning cap for the AL-80A, and found the impedance
crossed nearly zero in a smooth curve at upper VHF/lower UHF,
and Rich tried to change that to a TL922 and make the impedance
curve different!
The reply Rich posted is an example why measurements won't
solve this argument. I'm of the opinion this is a time-wasting
exercise, because anything anyone measures will be modified by
Rich to fit his needs, just like the measurements N7WS made.
N7WS made independent measurements, reached the same
conclusion I had reached years earlier, and Rich modified the
results. When that happens over and over again, it is impossible to
resolve anything.
