[Test-Equipment] Information needed RF meter

I think he's trying to tune the antenna, not the transmitter.

Maybe I will just use a small pilot light in series with the antenna lead and tune for maximum brightness. I was trying to demonstrate to a group of Scouts the 1941 message from FDR and hearing it on a receiver that was used in that time period. So everything would be one a small table. I could separate the transmitter in my home which would be 1/3 of a mile away but that would take away from the display. Maybe I will use a scope also so they can see the waveform when he speaks.
