Hi,

I dont think Tom is right on this one. You can not measure
field-strength, even if your meter is calibrated in FS. You
can only measure voltage or power and calculate field
strength, which is a function of measuring antenna and
frequency. Moreover the FS is undefined at zero elevation
unless there is a perfect ground between your measuring
antenna and the transmit antenna.

73 and good FS measuring.....
