Re: Dish tripods, and How to aim the dish myself

where do you live and go to dish alignment with your sip code get the AZ and

Buy a good compass( you can use it for back packing too) plumb the mast,
mount the antenna. set the ELV, point the dish in the AZ needed.

Your 90% there, now refine it! (peek the signal)
