You can make changes to your antenna and instantly know if it radiates better or worse. You can compare one antenna to another find out which HT antenna radiates the strongest signal?

Measure your HF antenna now and compare it later to make sure its performance is still up to par. Adjust a ground lead, artificial ground, counterpoise or tune your transmitter or antenna tuner for maximum field strength.

You can check for RF floating around the shack that may be caused by faulty antennas or poorly shielded equipment.
