Default Measuring the fieldstrenght nearby is not reliable.

My experience in tuning commercial 2-way HF radios for maximum power
radiated. It could be obtained by placing my multimeter (using crystal
rectifiers for a.c. scale rectification) with its test leads attached on
the hood of the vehicle containing the radio and tuning for maximum. The
measured performance proved as good as any other tuning method.

But that doesn't change anything that Wim stated which is entirely
correct.
You did not "determine" radiated power.......period
