From my experience, gravity is insufficient. The contact quality 
is too poor if you don't have anything to press the device against
the pads.

I was testing at ~1GHz, but it should not affect that much,
except that you need some plastic stick insted of a finger
(too much disturbance, probably stray capacitance).
