Has anyone done a performance review of the new Wilson Slide to tune No ground antennas? I am a slip seat driver & this looks to be a cool (& safer) way to tune my antenna w/o hanging off the side of the BIG RIG. That would really be nice to tune my SWR w/o leaving the A/C comfort of the cab when it it 100 degrees with 80% humidity DOWN SOUTH .
