[TowerTalk] Tribander SWR

[Wm. Freddy Curtis]

I have an old Cushcraft ATB-34 Tribander that I have re-furbished.  I 
have a couple of questions for this group.

1.  Can I "stand" the antenna on its reflector leaning it against a 
fence post and check the SWR in that situation,   or

2.  Place the antenna in the horizontal postion on a temporary mast 
about 5 ft, above the ground and check it there.

Thanks for any ideas / help  before I mount the antenna on my Rohn 25 
tower at the 50 ft. height.
