Homemade tool to help find sats.

Time for another project. I was tired of figure out where I was so I found a round piece of wood and made some printouts from the internet and come up with what you see below. It pivits on a nail. Tuned it 110W and made a mark on the bottom piece of wood. Turned the top 9 degress and what do you know I found 119W. Also move it to around 91 and found 91W. It is not perfect BUT it helps.

Next I want to angle the whole thing so I don't have to adjust the dish.

Well keep you guys posted.

Thanks PSB. I forgot to mention how the paper is attached. The wood I used was more or less clean so I did not sand it. I used glue to tack the paper down and two inch clear packing tape to seal up the paper up. It's not waterproof put it works for testing.

Great Idea, and nice work!
