[Lowfer] Looking for input on measuring changes to the beacon

[N8OOU]

J.B.
I tried using a CB Field Strength Meter when I first put the beacon up. 
It was not very sensitive and had to be held within a couple feet of the 
P.A. to get any deflection.  I give up on that at the time, I should 
re-visit that idea.
