windage
On longer link, I actually tilt the dish up a few degrees to compensate for this. It's not a terribly scientific process, more like Kentucky windage. |

| So what exactly is downtilt, and why would someone want it? BTW that was a funny one John Galt. Skyhooks, I should have known!

| Hehe, I love Fridays.
"Downtilt" is a method by which your antenna (usually an omni) blasts some on your signal down by a few degrees so that you don't overshoot everyone. If you think of the radiation pattern of an omni as a donut, then downtilt is good for making the donut angle downwards on each side so it hits the ground a lot closer to your antenna. You get the idea. I am too shot out to explain better
Oh, and I like to use my "skyhook" on my "relaxing weekend" |
