If your GPS data is correct, you may also want to try a shot to
Haystack. It looks possibly unobstructed to you.<br>

I'm not sure what's going wrong, but I can verify that S3.ETiger
is running and has 5 clients connected to it. I suspect you might
be aiming at the towers on west tiger (47.508761°, -121.984954°)
and (47.504856°, -121.971615°) whereas the HamWAN site is on east
tiger (47.488172°, -121.946733°). From your picture, you should
see a 3rd tower or cluster of towers further towards the right, if
that is the case. Google Earth is a good tool to get a sense of
the visuals, since it lets you tilt the world.<br>

<div>Q2) Is the dish assembled correctly? See

<div>Q3) I was watching the signal strength on the
routerboard while running "/interface wireless scan 0”.
Nothing showed up on the terminal session and no signal
strength LED’s lit up. I moved it left to right and adjusted
azimuth each time I stopped.</div>
<div>Q4) How long should you wait to acquire the
signal between each time you move it?</div>
<div>Q5) Is there anything like the signal strength
tones aiming a DirecTV dish?</div>
<div>Q6) Any other ideas. My exported configuration
is below and I’ve successfully completed every step listed
