Instead of using rules of thumb from ancient history, you can get a far more precise answer by simply modeling the antennas under test and the test source on EZNEC. Should take 10 minutes or less. If you can't
go far enough to get into the far field, you will at least know the
correction factor at the distance you can do.  The modeling results
also provide a sanity check on your actual measurement.
