A. The time between local sunrise and sunset is solar noon, in North 
America is in the middle.

Therefore any shadow point to True North.

B. With most HF antenna having 3db points for the forward lobe having 
the smallest angle of 30 degrees

why are we picking nits over finding magnetic north away from buildings 
and the deviation that day to

compute True North to get 1 degree accuracy?

To me on a circuit to ZS or G, it's "good enough" with the old sundial 
method from here in Missouri.

Or what am I missing?.

73!
