[CQ-Contest] Calibrating Bird Wattmeter

Does anyone know anyone who will calibrate a Bird 43 wattmeter and slugs
relatively inexpensively?

Bird wants $60 for the meter, $50 each for a 50 watt and 250 watt slug and
$100 for a 2500 watt slug (all 2 - 30 mhz.)

I bought these used and EVERY SINGLE item reads low below tolerance, when
compared to a friends wattmeter (which is right on what the transmitter and
amp reports.)
