It depends on the beam. A 2 or 3 element HF antenna has a 3db beamwidth of,
what, 60, 90 degrees or more (too lazy to look it up)? Certainly not < the 16
degrees that you would be concerned with.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Declination - Does it matter?
I live in a place that has a Declination of approximately plus16 degrees.
I am putting my tower in soon, so I want to do it right. I have asked several
hams and one says "just use magnetnetic" the other says "follow your lot lines".
I want to do it right . If I am turning my beamChile, I don't want to actually
be shooting at the ocean.
Any advice please
