Hi Simmus,

See attached link for compass overall....http://www.learn-orienteering.org/old/

But in short...
Take out the compass and point the lead marker at the top of your compass down the antenna azimuth, then rotate the dial with North lined up against the north needle. The bearing that is now in line with the marker at the top of compass is your antenna azimuth.

Post back if this does not help, how did you get on with your mapinfo stuff I sent?
