I find it way easier and much more straightforward to simply record the
specific X and R at the feedpoint when you install the antenna.  Then make
it a habit of check that measurement once a year at the antenna feedpoint.
If the R is creeping up, then the radials need some work.

 

On the coax.  Just disconnect the coax from the feed and do a loss
measurement from the station.  Again, record and check annually.
