I made some standard value terminators for use with my AA-170. They can be used when looking at coax & for establishing "calibration data" for use with the Antscope software (can remove the cable used in when calibrating from values being read from the far end of the cable, i.e. the antenna). The alligator clips are shown with a simple wire loop. It can read the resonance of a coil when held in close proximity and coaxial with the coil winding.
Not shown are some simple non-inductive resistor loads (50 ohm, 200 ohm & 500 ohm) with heavy leads for connecting to wire antenna baluns for testing.

I did a similar thing for when I was building my first 9:1 unun. I used 450ohm
