A 1N5711 will work pretty well. I think I used a BAT48, looks like it from the blue case, but even an 1N4148 will work fairly well at lower frequencies.
Step-recovery or varactor diodes and a more complicated arrangement are better if you want significant UHF/SHF power rather than some random weak signal for tuning up a receiver.

Wow, now that is simple. I don't have a favorite diode, can you tell me what you used?
