I answered my own question.
If you want to find "True" north, the calculator below will be very helpful.
I was off +14 degrees in CT from magnetic north.

Hi Guys,
This may be a stupid question but..
Do you calibrate your beam headings for true north or magnetic north?
I believe it's true north. If so, what is the degree difference is FN41AU to
the east of magnetic north?
I have an issue with my rotor pot and just tried EME pointing the beam using
a compass. Only after did I realize this may have been a mistake. No
contact.
Thanks,
Paul Rollinson, KE1LI
