[TowerTalk] Re: Beam Headings

[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

What if you have a long boom 2m yagi up above the H.F. beam. Suppose the
2m has about an 8 degree beamwidth and you are working weak signals that
just barely get out of the noise when the beam is dead on. E.g. your
horizontal aperture is about 2 or 3 degrees. Better have it dead on, and
your rotational indicator better be calibrated and linear.
