That's great question Andy!

Yes do we need to have a low starting frequency or do we need
frequency spacing that is higher then 10MHz.
Because on the VNA I'm using, I can use 16 000 points, and that VNA
goes up to 26GHz, in that case it can surely measure cables longer
then 10m!

Best regards, Mark
