Hi,

The use of a spectrum analyzer is the best way.  But, you could also use an
Autek RF-1 or similar MFJ product to tune a stub.  Or, try a signal
generator tuned to the offending freq (band) and feed the incoming feedline
from the antenna, using a VTVM bridging across a 50 ohm resistor at the rig
end.  This way you could tune the stub for a dip or minimum voltage level
at the freq (band) you're trying to eliminate.
