 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,
