I'm blessed with having an old General Radio RF bridge (516C - fairly rare).
The 916A, 916AL and 1606 are more common. They are very handy things to have
around, and can occasionally be found at decent prices on Ebay. They can be
a bit cumbersome to use, but do give you the advantage of making
measurements on the frequency you plan to use.

If you're not trying to make antenna measurements, a Q meter is probably
easier to use.
