[TowerTalk] Lining up Antenna Elements

Bill:

I sort of wish you hadn't given away the secret. It is much more
fun to read about all the agony people go through to get
alignment of elements.

Maybe the thing to do is suggest that the "modelers" among us run
their models and tell us exactly where the RF effects begin. Most
of us know where the psychological degradation begins as the
elements move away from perfect alignment.
