getting true "north" to even one degree accuracy is harder than it seems at first glance.

My QTH is south of San Francisco. I've aligned both of my rotators to true north using the shadow cast by the towers. On a bright day, summer or winter, shadows are clearly defined. Agreed that the towers are not narrow, but neither are the patterns of the 3-el Yagis on top, and they are carefully plumbed to vertical. :)
