I tried to measure them a few years ago, but I got inconclusive 
results.. It's hard to come up with a good test fixture (parasitic C has 
a huge effect).

You might be able to figure it out by sweeping the whole antenna and 
looking for the bumps in the impedance curves, or by modeling it and 
adjusting the trap characteristics until the measured data matches the 
model.
