[Antennas] Finding True North (simplest method)

[Chris BONDE]

I donot want to sound nitpicky, but may.  This is a prime example to me 
about punctuation etc.

When I first read the following I read 5 degrees.  My computer and I have 
trouble at times seeing the same thing.  I was always taught when taking 
math that a decimal number always must have a unit number therefore 0.5 is 
readily readable as half  as   .5 can be misread.

Just my humble opinion.
