Default Testing VHF antenna with ohm meter

Hello,



I suspect that my VHF antenna is shot, I think it's open circuit.

I'm looking for a quick and easy way to verify it with an ohm meter.

I know that the 50 ohm impedance is an AC impedance

at RF frequencies. But I'm guessing a DC ohm meter should

measure something between a few 10s of ohms to a few hundreds

of ohms if the antenna was good.

I'm measuring ~ 10 meg ohms.



Time for a new antenna?



Thanks in advance,

Vin
