There is no need to transmit to test your antenna. Received signal strength
will do.
With skywave antenna measurements there can be significant measurement
variability. Multiple measurements like so should be used. Antenna
A,B,C,A,B,C,A,B,C. Plot the data and you can see trends.

i have installed three wall switches to be able to choose (one or all) of
two differently configured 5/16 counter poises, and connecting my link
