Know anyone with a frequency counter? Hold one of those fairly close
to your antenna while transmitting, and it should give you your
transmit frequency.

I notice my MFJ antenna analyzer also has a frequency counter input,
if you know anyone with an analyzer.

Unless the counter isn't worth a crap, you don't need to hold it "next" to
the antenna. It should measure it out of the air. Unless you're using a
rubber duck that sucks to start with. Most counters are pretty sensitive.

My MFJ-886 counter is sometimes sensitive, and sometimes not. Barely
measures the output of a QRP hf rig. A little better with a 25 watt
vhf/uhf dual bander. Okay with a 100 watt hf rig. Depends on the
rig...
