I did something similar and could have used the same rig to measure SWR
in a feedline.

I used a wire loop which included a thermoammeter suspended from a
horizontal antenna element. I pulled this along the element to measure
its current distribution using a long tow rope and a telescope.

Pulled along a transmission line wire, this would have produced the
currents at the minima and maxima along the wire. From these we could
calculate SWR.

Bravo Richard!

You response from the wilderness exposes the poverty of experience
within the city of enlightenment. Cake and circus seems to be the
daily fare here.
