One problem I found in tear down was that when my experimental antenna
base mount turned it changed the up-tilt angle of the antennas from above 30 degrees to the west to 10 degrees to the east so my aiming was less than optimal as well as I was doing armstrong method for spinning them and had to run from deck to antenna and back as well as trying to make a qso if possible.

Hi Jacob, K8JWT
The next time you mount your antenna base use a plumb bob to hang perpendicularly !
