Hi Guys,
This may be a stupid question but..
Do you calibrate your beam headings for true north or
magnetic north?
I believe it's true north. If so, what is the degree
difference is FN41AU to
the east of magnetic north?
I have an issue with my rotor pot and just tried EME
pointing the beam using
a compass. Only after did I realize this may have been a
mistake. No
contact.
Thanks,
Paul Rollinson, KE1LI
