Measuring large coils can be difficult because they couple to everything,

Yes, If I get within two feet of my coil at resonance, I can see the Q start to drop.
I use about 10" of styrofoam to get the coil away from the Q meter, probably not far enough, but
it's the best I can do.
There is a low loss ferrite available that if wound right will get you a Q over 1200 through the BCB.
And into the high 1400s If with contra wound.
