[NLRS] Yagi Tilt (was: Re: Remote Coax Switch..)

[Duane - N9DG]

The fundemental flaw to the tilting the yagi one way (right
or left) is that if everyone else is also doing that then
everyone will be cross polarized whenever they point at each
other if they have all tilted in the same direction. At a
minimum the polarization will be wrong half the time assuming
that everyone is tilted either left or right randomly (insert
political joke here - if you dare).

So shhh, just don't tell anyone that you've tilted your beam
;).....
