Loosen rotator mast clamp, check to see which direction the antenna is
actually pointing, then move the controller to point to the same heading
as the antenna and then tighten up clamps. (make sure the mast is not
turning when doing this).
Happy new year, Dave/W3NP

I just replaced my rotor (with a HAM-IV) on the bottom of my US Tower 55’
flagpole with a SteppIR on top. The old rotor was off the tower for a few weeks and I
suspect the wind blew the beam a little.
Now my bearings are about 30-40 degrees off. So when my controller says I
am pointed due North, the beam is actually pointed NNW.
I know we could lower the tower and repoint the beam. But I’m looking for
suggestions on how to reorient the antenna from the ground.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
