The only way to properly tune the antenna is to do it in situ. The A99 has tuning rings at the bottom so you should be able to do it fairly easily after the installation.

Bolt it to the pole, stand it up in a garden parasol stand if you have one and tune it. That way you may be lucky and have it near as damnit when it goes up .
