[TowerTalk] hygain 205ca swr question

[EL34GUY at aol.com]

Hello Guys,

I just put together my 205ca today and put it up on sawhorses in my backyard. 
Is this still too close to the ground to get an accurate reading? Im getting 
about 2.5 swr like this. Does it have to be verticle(reflector element down) 
to get the best(most accurate) reading? I dont want to have to take it down 
again after putting it on the tower. Thanks and 73...
