I try the north start, the sun shadow on my tower at noon, GPS, magnetic compass corrected for \nthe true north but i was still off.\n\nWhen my rotor control box lost his north setting i decided from an approximate north pointing to fine tune it while pointing on a \nsatellite. I try first with AO-51. It take's me a couple of pass to be able to set my north alignment using this method. You will have to \nmove you antenna back and forth writing the calculated azimuth and your maximum signal direction. When you get an whole list you just have \nto make the average of the differences and you just have to correct your north pointing with this difference. I was at an 19 degrees error \nand when i reset my control box to the north taking in account this corrected factor all the other satellite pointing became right on the \nspot.\n\nThe dramatic effect come at AOS and LOS when prior to this adjustment i was nearly unable to work anything below 5 degrees of elevation but \nafter i often hear my downlink near 1 degrees and sometimes at half a degree.\n\nIt was easy here to readjust my north setting as my Alpha Spid rotor can be adjusted to the north without having to mechanically move the \nmast on the rotor probably not the best season to make this king of setting actually here.\n\nI wrote \"here\" as i'm happy that some in Florida can actually feel what we can feel here when playing with the antennas and rotor outside \nin winter... Even in Europe they also have this great opportunity to make this new exciting experiment...\n\nP.S. To our Canadian snow birds there is no need to go to Florida to get sub freezing point temperature you just have them just out of your \nhome door here...but let say you will answer me back that you prefer minus 4C instead of my actual minus 20C...\n\"-\"\n\n\nLuc Leblanc VE2DWE\nSkype VE2DWE\nwww.qsl.net/ve2dwe\nDSTAR urcall VE2DWE\nWAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE\n\n \n",
