Hi Dick,
I use an LF Tuning Meter by Jim Moritz M0BMU, you can get the pdf article
from http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/wgtaylor/LFtunemeter.pdf
or
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/g3ldo/LFtunemeter.pdf
I find it can be used in the shack or at the base of the antenna & the
results are the same, I find it a really useful LF antenna tuning aid.

Subject: LF: How to measure antenna current?
Hello all,
Today changed the groundsystem, resulting in an 4-5dB stronger signal.
I am using an trafo , diode and meter as an indicator to tune the coil for
maximum antenna current.
In this list I often see people mentioning which antennacurrent they are
running.
I wonder how to get these values.
Measuring voltage across an resistor? What about number of turns in the coil
etc?
