Hi John, G4DMF In my opinion the orientation of the physical rotator over the mast is very important because the rotator has limit switches. If you just clamp mast so that the antennas are north pointing but the rotator do not actuate limit switches when the antennas are looking South than the adjustement will be incorrect. 73" de i8CVS Domenico _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
