Subject: [amsat-bb] antenna direction calibration
You'd think I would have this figured out by now. I never paid very close
attention to exact antenna direction until now. I mean the satellite was
always within the beam pattern. I tried the SuM part of Satpc32. I am
thinking of trying some EME, and I looked up the boom of the yagi' and I
was about 8* high and maybe 10* to the right of the moon, still probably
within the half power point of the beams. This is where the obsessive part
comes along, should I use the moon as the "grand phooba" of calibration?
Or compass true/mag. I mean the moon is "pretty" consistent. As always the
collective thoughts of this bb are never wrong.
