Antenna, great, but where too

[TadMadLad]

Hi,

I know the locatoin of the Sentec antennas are secret and we are all wondering where it is and stuff.... but.

When Fastcomm releases the antenna to the public, on the 18th of this month, i will be mounting that baby on my wall outside...

the problem i am having now is... which way do i point it?

Just swivel it around until you get an actual signal

see, if the falloff is about 8degrees, and i dont know how high i must point it, i am going to be pointing that dish for a very very very long time.

its not like i have signal now and pointing it to where i notice i get better signal, i dont have signal at all so finding would be a problem ...
but i will try

Get someone to watch your modem lights (maybe use ProAsm's mysignal.exe as well) while you swivel the antenna around. You might get more than 1 tower, so try all directions to find the best one, and do it slowly!
If there are no high hills or buildings within 6km from your location, then at least you don't have to worry about elevation, just point it horizontally.
