And it doesn't hurt to draw the azimuth on an aerial image in Google Earth and print a copy for the crew to use on the site. You can see where the line is over things that they can actually see when they are there.

I have a guy on the ground start walking with a gps. After a few tries he gets the line we need established. From that I use some kind of landmark, like the guys head or a tree or rock or something. Inclinometers are deadly accurate. If you have your inclination dead on, then if you are close with azimuth you will find it right away. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Sent: Monday, August 24, 2020 3:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] Durable Tower Compass Does anyone have a recommendation for a compass for tower work? Need to insure sectors are somewhat accurate. Compass on phone hard to see in bright light etc. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
