Measure a half wl times velocity factor of the coax, cut it and use that 1/2 wl to tune the antenna, then put whatever length of coax you need to get back to the shack. Easy enough.

This will work for mono band antennas, but multi band, now that would be a lot of pieces of coax laying around.

Interesting idea using the field strength meter, I do not think the 259B analyzer will put out enough RF for that field strength meter to even detect a null.
