Yes sir. Grab yourself a 100 watt 50 ohm dummy load at least so you have a real base line to go by. What I mean as in vswr, and power. A good known dummy load will help with this. And IDK what meter you are using but I've heard good things about the diawa cn101 or 202 swr/power meters. I use a radio shack meter and a bird 100 watt 50 ohm dummy load for reference. I'm not trying to be scientific per say. Shop around as you may find an antenna analyzer for a good price on EBay or one of the ham sites. I beleive that cheaper ones are coming out that can be used for what simple needs most users need for proper tuning of an antenna. But that is JMHO. Hope some of it helps. Good day.
