Dear all,
I am Chiu-Teng Tsai (BM6ERA) from Taiwan. Now we are building a

mobile ground station. One of our problem is how to calibrate the
azimuth angle. Use compass only, or any better solution? Thanks
for your help!
Azimuth is given in degrees from true North.  A compass is fine, if
you know the magnetic declination (i.e. the difference between true
North and magnetic North) for your location.  That information should
be readily available on the Internet.
