Using a Frequency selective voltmeter with a standard antenna is a good way
to go if one has access to them. Still, the problem becomes that the
standard antenna needs a correction factor as a function of frequency.
Additionally, one has to keep in mind that the far field distance at the
harmonics may be further away than at the fundamental so the measurements
should be taken with the highest frequency in mind. At HF this should not be
a problem but needs to be considered. Lots of calibration needs to take
place prior to actual measurements. 73 - Mike
