That bridge will work.  If it's an omni antenna, you should get a steady 
signal in all directions if you walk around the antenna while you lock down 
the xmit key on low power.  With a directional antenna, you should be able to 
lay out on a graph paper the signal strength readings and get an idea whether 
the antenna is stronger off the front vs skewed to one side, as in a gamma 
matched system.
