After I obtained a battery fed selective level meter (W & G SPM-12) I prefer to use that for FS measurements together with a single turn untuned loop of 1 x 1 square metre because there is no need for calibration. There is a simple relation between FS and voltage induced in the loop.  I don't know whether you possess a suitable battery fed SLM but if you do it is far less work to construct the loop than my portable FS meter plus Helmholtz coils for calibration. 
Instead  of the SLM you could use a battery fed receiver with an S-meter.
At  home you could translate the S-meter readings into voltages using a signal generator.

Todays teaser; why "Eve" in the subject heading?

Well, according to the Scriptures, Eve was a "side" issue for Adam.

Boom boom!
