[MVMA] W6CDR<>MVHS link install: Fail!

[Chuck Gelm]

It seems I guessed fairly well aiming the panel node at MVHS.
It may need to be turned a little counter-clockwise.
Direction may be slightly counter-clockwise from neighbor roof antennas.

It was very foggy yesterday when I attempted to aim the dish on Wynn's 
tower.
I could not see any visual markers beyond 300 yards.
e.g. I could not see the water tower across from WING studio. (1155 yards)
After reviewing satellite maps it seems this antenna needs to be turned 
a little counter-clockwise, too.
Direction may be slightly counter-clockwise from perpendicular to Mad 
River Rd.

I had trouble getting the Sound-Pitch-Volume tool to work.
It kept displaying a 0 dBm signal. I plan to try again using channel/bw 
141/10.

I got glimpses of LQ/NLQ ~25% ~35%.

I am concerned at MVHS that the neighbor building may be blocking the 
signal.
Also the path is through the neighbor antennas on the roof.

If this fails, the next option is a link via the Dayton Mall switch.
A little longer path; 4.16 miles, but awesome path profile.
