Antenna Height The most important measurement you have to make.
Insert the measuring rod through each of the three holes in the antenna ground plane to measure the slant height from center of benchmark to the top edge of the ground plane at the outer edge of the hole. (Holes or notches equally spaced in azimuth). Measurements should not differ by more than 1 or 2 mm. Do this both before and after the observing period. Record the antenna height in both meters and inches.
Is the North arrow on the antenna pointed to true North? Yes No,azimuth _____
Is the tribrach centered above the Mark? Before After
Is the tribrach tribrach leveled? Before After
