The antenna range should be able to measure the gain for you.  I'm not 
sure if they can give you an absolute figure at 2400 MHz (as opposed to 
2304 MHz), because it depends if their reference antenna has been 
calibrated that far up the band.  I'm not sure how easy it will be to 
measure the SWR or impedance without a 2400 MHz signal source.  That may 
require a private session another day with one of the members who is 
better-equipped with test gear than I am...
