Yes, on a Tektronix TDS220.

The waveform was changed on that frequency and I measured the period
of the new waveform. The two were sine waves.
The input waveform changes when I reach 6 MHz, from above or below,
to the new 3X sine waveform.

Yes, it was.

Hum... I'll try more turns ...

Prove nothing, just trying to find the ferrite's resonant frequency.
