Well I do everything solo, so it takes me about three hours. However, that includes the 30-40 minute drive time back and forth and back and forth. I can link up a 19 mile shot eyeballing it and at least be on a sidelobe. Never fails. Then fine tune one side, drive to the other side, fine tune that side, and if needed (usually isn't) drive back and do one final fine tuning.
