You don't say what VHF frequency, but the Cantenna is probably unsuitable at
that frequency. Your amp is spec'd to put out 300W into 50 Ohms, not 35 or
70. It could put out more or less power into a different impedance. Your
best bet is to build a little L network right at the Cantenna, adjust it for
1:1 SWR, and then measure the power. Another approach would be to string all
the RG58 you own in series with the 8X.

Less than 150 MHz. Someone else suggested that i place the meter
right at the cantenna, to at least exclude the patch from meter to
dummy load.

Unfortunately, as i have mentioned before, the cantenna is not the
greatest 50 Ohms at anything above 10-20 MHz.
