It is not too simple to measure phase with a additional circuitry. However, it is simple to move the frequency of the antenna analyzer and see the Reactance change, IF it is increasing with frequency it is inductive reactance, (+); if decreasing with frequency increase, it is capacitive reactance, (-).
Once you get used to that, and make a little reminder note to paste on the analyzer case, you can do the check easily and remember which type of reactance change you are seeing re frequency.
