We " hillbilly" them up all the time and most of the time don't need
to go back to tower 1. Every once in a while we might have to go back
and tweak the alignment a little. I use Delorme Topo USA and a GPS
receiver on my laptop. Mark both locations and draw a line between the
towers. Zoom in and start walking directly away from the tower in the
direction of the link and keep the little arrow thingy on the line. I
go out a few hundred feet, make sure I'm on the line and drop a
direction target to shoot at.

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.
