   I agree with Todd . When I first started out I used a FSM , but you never 
have any real reference . My beacon had never been logged at any distance .
   I built the clamp on RF amp meter described by K0LR . WOW what a 
difference !! I could keep notes and see what worked and what didn't and get 
the last little drop out of the station . It wasn't but a couple of days 
after I built it , and got things tuned up , that two Minnesota stations 
sent me screen captures of my beacon !!
   WELL worth the time to build !!
