Having installed tons of Siklu and Bridgewave links at Fort Bliss and ICE compound in Artesia, here are my tips. Make sure mounts are level and plumb with solid anchors...no movement. Align azimuth first and then elevation in slow precise movements. The Siklu alignment tool works well even though it is just plastic. Easy to fabricate one or if Chuck still makes his, buy one.
