[Test-Equipment] Information needed RF meter

[J. Forster]

That's why I suggested a small current tyransformer in the antenna lead
several days ago. Antenna current is a max at resonance in a series
circuit.

However, if he only wants to go a few feet, likely an antenna is not even
needed, and could well be a detriment.
