Subject: Re: [WISPA] PtP Dish Alignment
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.
