[Test-Equipment] Information needed RF meter

[Mike Manes]

Since the antenna feedpoint impedance may not be 50 ohms, one plan would
be to tune for max field strength using that meter and diode hooked to
a small sensing antenna placed close enough to the antenna to get a
mid-scale reading.  Or put an RF milliammeter in series with the feedpoint.

Okay on the information. What I have is a AM transmitter tuned to 1620Khz.
The transmitter is going to a vertical antenna with a loading coil, with
a variable capacitor,  so I wanted to be able to  tune the antenna for
maximum output.  I do not have a milliwatt RF meter so I thought maybe I
could jury rig one.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks. I will
