#tinysa
Something with a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) function would be ideal,
not sure if the nanovna has that function, good luck anyway.

Tony,
Do you actually NEED to know the exact figure or is this an exercise in
"can it be done this way" experiment?
If all you need is a rough idea, tape measure, data sheet and
