Have you considered getting one of the cheap NanoVNAs? they're around 
$50, and measuring a 50 MHz beam (and the feedline) would be easy for 
any of them.

For the Tx output, you pretty much need to have some sort of load that 
can take the power.   Of course, if your antenna is 50 ohms at the 
desired frequency, then it can be the load.
