Brett,

Do you have an old link coupled tuner - like the Johnson Matchbox or a 
homebrew one with plug-in coils?
If you do, hook it up "backwards" with a dummy load on the normal input 
side.
You have just created a tunable "artificial antenna" - tune the Matchbox 
to produce whatever load impedance you want.

73,
