    You have to buy a meter that costs over 100 dollars to tune your
Antenna.
    The secret is what is known as the power factor, which just means that 
you have to get your antenna resonant.   At a particular frequency
there is a proper Resistor Inductor Capacitor.  X + jY   X - jY.
   
     Complex immaginary numbers.
   
     You figure out what those values are and then test them in operation 
with that meter I believe is all its about.
   
     Hey... if you don't have those values right, you will only transmit more 
and more power to go just about no where, and you will get feed back. 
   
     
     Its something that some people used to say was necessary to get an 
Amateur Radio license.  Knowing polar and rectangular conversions.
  
      I wrote a program that does that.   I sent it to ARRL in Newington and 
they must have not thought too much of it,because no one distributes it.
