Stuart - that has been done also  - by and Engineer at Belden I think - I
cant remember right now who did it but if I find it again I will send it .
He used a "triaxial method " with the coax under test inside another outer
conductor .

and Cable - here is a link to the Tennadyne site that has the paper. Alos 
says much was in QST in April 1981.
