The author's approach is not to cancel the inductance of the 0.2 Ohm (not 0.02) resistor but that of the 5 CM (2 inches) of connecting lead.? Multiple surface mount resistors mounting in a ring around the Hi binding post can make a much lower inductance insertion point.

Surface mount resistors in 0805 size are available in values much lower than 1 ohm although it takes some checking in Mouser's resistor selection guide to find a value available in qty 1 rather than min 1000 in the resistance and case size desired.

The author says it's good from 100kHz to 40MHz. He doesn't provide a lot of build details.
?I wonder if it could be improved for even higher frequency.
The page also has a complete schematic of an experimental Q meter.
