Anybody have one? I am going to stick it in a tree. There are tuning rings on

am going to use a climbing tree stand, and it will be impossible to tune it when
it is hung. If I tune it on the ground, will the SWR be drastically affected if
it is a couple feet off the ground, as opposed to when it is about 30 feet up?

Leave the tuning rings as they are. I put mine out the top of a
tree, and the antenna had a 1.1 SWR right out of th box.

A friend of mine is going to send me an Autek RF analyzer, so I can tune it
while in the tree.
