reflections

I'm trying to have 1 crew and not do the 2nd trip to the first tower.

You would need more people then. You can't align the dish without
both radios being powered.
You could do two 3 man crews, one at each site. Both install at
the same time and they should finish around the same time frame.
Align before coming down at all.

It looks like for around $150 you could get binoculars with a
built in magnetic compass that you see through the binoculars.
Could you use the binoculars to find an object on the horizon
on the right azimuth and then point the dish there?

Question: What tools do you use to blindly put up the first
end of a ptp without having a visual on the other side?
Details:
When deploying ptp dishes... One team doing both ends at
different times.
The first dish must be aligned without a connecting radio at
the other end.
We know how to get uptilt/downtilt/azimuth from Radio Mobile.
Uptilt/downtilt is easy to do with a simple gauge. Azimuth
is a different story. If you can see the site that you're
aiming for, no big deal, but what if you can't?
We have a number of backhaul upgrades to do in the next few
months, and we have alot of fog here in the mornings this
time of year.
