I would be grateful if anyone could suggest or provide me with a circuit
diagram for a Homebrew ATU with SWR meter or circuit diagrans for these
seperately.


The simplest ATU is an L-match. Comprises a coil and a capacitor. Explain
that it is useful for matching high-impedence end fed wires approx half
wavelength long to 50 ohm and you should pass.

On the SWR meter, the cheapest way you can build something that does a
similar job is to build a resistive bridge (check if this is acceptable
first). This requires a meter movement a diode or two and a handful of
resistors and capacitors. There is no coil winding or toroids. The big
benefit of this is that you can tune up without putting a signal to air as
you would with an SWR bridge. They are also excellent for low power
transmitters as they are more sensitive than many SWR meters (particularly
on the lower HF range).
