[TowerTalk] ALIGNING ANTENNA

[Dave - W3NP]

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
