I'm willing to bet that's the most common practice these days.
I know an older guy who uses a compass and then he takes orange marking
paint and draws an arrow in the grass. Honestly, it's not like the
sector antenna has a rifle sight. It's basically dead reckoning no
matter what you use to make the reckoning.

Honestly, we just pull up Google Earth, draw a line from the tower
with the proper heading and look for landmarks against which to aim
for sectors and coarse adjustment of BHs. I don’t know if it’s any
more accurate, but it’s definitely on the same cost plane as standing
in a field.

Over the last year our "low-cost" digital compass has degraded to
the point of being unreliable and now useless. We have been
looking at a few of the obviously expensive options, Sunsight
AAT-30, 3Z Antena Aligner, Multiwave SmartAlign to rent. That
being said we are also looking for a less expensive, but more
accurate than standing in a field looking back at the antenna,
option to purchase. What are some of you using to accurately
align your AP sectors and do initial BH deployment?
Thanks,
