A long time ago, I went outside after\ndark and looked at how my house lined up with Polaris. In my case, it was\na dead sight along the front or back side and the peak of the roof to\nPolaris. If it's not, you could use a protractor to determine the\ndifference. I have done that, relative to the E/W lines of the side of\nthe house, to point the TV antenna to 125 degrees toward the transmitter\nsite for this area.\n\nJerry\nN0JY\n\n> Joseph,\n> Check out this page:\n> http://www.thecompassstore.com/decvar.html#\n> There's a link on that page to plug in your Zip code and figure\n> declination, or\n> you can use the handy map on the main page.\n> For Austin, the magic number is 4 degrees.\n>\n> If I recall correctly (it's been a few years), I set the rotor\n> control box to North, went up on the roof and rotated the *mast*\n> until the ants pointed to magnetic north (using a compass). Note that\n> the compass will read inaccurately if held near a metal mast.\n> Then I rotated the mast a bit more so the ants were pointing about 4\n> degrees *West of magnetic North*.\n>\n> That's the way I remember doing it.\n>\n> Bill N5AB\n>\n\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
