Just connect the output of the sig gen to a 10-foot (or 8', or 6', or 3')
long wire and string it out on the floor. Even at -20 dBm (roughly 0.02
vrms in a 50-ohm system) output from the sig gen, ANY receiver connected to
a real antenna (or even clip lead) should be able to detect the signal, if
it is there.
Of course, a better approach is to directly couple the sig. gen. output to
the vertical input of an o'scope with adequate bandwidth. If you must, use
a 50-ohm through terminator - or shunt 50-ohm non-reactive resistor at the
input of the o'scope. I do not remember if the Heathkit sig gens were were
designed for high-Z or if they will properly drive a 50-ohm load.
