Anybody have one? I am going to stick it in a tree. There are tuning rings
on
it. Anyone ever tune one of these? I am going at it alone when I install
it. I
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?

I run an Army BigStick in a 110' Redwood. We sorta tuned
it on the mast with the coax stretched all the way out. Now it was a good
match when it was down, it went up just a little
when all the way up, nut not enough to worry about. I also
ran a separate ground wire down from the mounting brackets.
